RS RAS and IS NAS KR scientific collaboration

The scientific collaboration between Research Station of RAS and the Institute for Seismology of NAS KR in the seismological research scope continues.

Two sets of RT130-01 seismic station and STS-2 seismic sensors have been prepared and consigned to the Institute for Seismology by Group of New Technologies Introduction staff according to the last Agreement. It is the fifth Agreement for similar works during last three years.

RT130-01 stations and STS-2 seismic sensors purchase was funded by CRDF (U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation). PDA-KIT terminal software, intended for RT130-01 control, was updated in 2014. It must be noted that manufacturer of RT130-01 – namely REFTEK Inc., USA, supports its equipment maintenance during all time of equipments and software usage. Updated PDA-KIT terminal firmware was provided upon the Research Station request in shortest time.

Field work assumes RT130-01 seismic stations completed by STS-2 sensors arrangement at studied area and continuous recording of microseisms and vibrations from remote earthquakes and industrial explosions. The monitoring period depends on seismic activity level at observed territory. 10 seismic events at least with high records quality are necessary for data processing. While one station is taken as a reference point other stations are mobile.

One month is period of Agreement.

Group of New Technologies Introduction staff render methodical support, operators training, consultations for Institute for Seismology staff and provide seismic data processing software.

Scientific workshop

Dear colleagues!

On Friday, May 20, 2016, at 13:00 we invite everyone to visit regular scientific workshop. Within this workshop the Head of the Laboratory of Studying Modern Movements of the Earth’s Crust by methods of Space Geodesy (LGPS), the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences Kuzikov Sergey Ivanovich will present the LECTURE "The General Geological Concepts for Geophysical Surveys”.

We are planning to discuss the following issues:

• definition of Geology and Geophysics, spheres of research;
• age of objects and duration of observations;
• relevance of geological data for geophysical surveys;
• important concepts from the General Geology: main types, origin and classifications of rocks; time scales;
• tectonic theories, fault and seismic belts;
• main types of geological maps of Kyrgyzstan;
• ratio of geological and geodetic data;

The workshop will take place in a small conference room of AMB (Administrative and Management Building).

Information for colleagues from the lower site: collecting at 12:45 near OAB (Office and Amenity Building).

Secretary of the workshop

News of LAHD

In 2015 the Laboratory of Advanced Hardware Development of Research Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RS RAS) continued the works on electromagnetic prospecting complex development based on pseudo-noise sounding signals usage for modern electromagnetic monitoring system for stressed and deformed state of the Earth’s crust. Small-size and thermo stable induction sensor intended for magnetic induction flow measurement was developed within this work. This sensor has high sensitivity in the range from 0,1 Hz to 80 kHz. Sensor prototype was made. Possible application for this sensor could be any geoelectroprospecting equipment based on measurements of man-made and natural electromagnetic fields.

Executed design is included in the report to the President of the Russian Federation: “The REPORT on the fundamental sciences state in the Russian Federation and about the most important scientific achievements of Russian scientists in 2015", on March 23, 2016, Section II - "THE FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCES BRANCHES STATE AND THE MOST IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS OF THE RAS - FASO SYSTEM", p. 133, as one of the major scientific achievements of the Russian scientists in 2015.
