Data sources – Sismos Venezuela

Sismos Venezuela relies on public seismological data. We thank the institutions that operate these networks and catalogues and make their data openly available. None of them operates or endorses this service.

Real-time seismic stations

The automatic detector of Sismos Venezuela analyses the signals of the following stations in real time. The data are received through the public SeedLink server of the EarthScope Consortium.
