Meridian opens its third regional monitoring station
Station 3 brings continuous seismic and acoustic coverage to the northern district.
Meridian Research has commissioned its third regional monitoring station. The station records seismic, acoustic and atmospheric data continuously and forwards a daily summary to the central campus.
Station supervisor Ibrahim Haddad said the site was chosen for its low background noise. “On a still night the instruments can hear a door close two valleys away. That is exactly what we need.”
The station also provides a permanent base for field logistics in the district, replacing the temporary cabins used in previous seasons.
