The IDL Seismology Laboratory supports seismological research, collects both inland (seismometers, accelerometers) and oceanic (OBS – Ocean Bottom Seismometers) data. It operates 4 permanent seismic stations in Portugal mainland, which are connected to worldwide data network consortiums like the European Integrated Data Archive infrastructure (within ORFEUS) and the IRIS Data Management Center. The Laboratory is responsible for the design and conception of OBS’s and maintenance and handling of the equipment for field work, including a short period pool shared with partners IFREMER and ISEL.
