On September 15, 2024, the Geophysical Service of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan commissioned 2 seismic stations (Sarez and Murghob) in the Badakhshan Mountain Autonomous Region, and repaired 1 seismic station (Manem, near Khorugh city).
These seismic stations are digital, and each station has two recorders (sensors) that are very sensitive to earthquakes. One of the recorders (sensors) is a seismometer that records the speed of earthquake waves. The second recorder (sensor) is called an accelerometer and measures the acceleration of the earth. As noted by the head of the geophysical service of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan Negmatulloev Sobit Khabibulloevich, the advantages of the mentioned seismic stations are that information is regularly transmitted to them in virtual form. which facilitates urgent information processing.
The above-mentioned seismic stations were installed by scientists and engineers of the Geophysical Service of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan Devonashoev Aziz and Qosimov Erkin, and the first information that was sent to the Service by new seismic stations in a virtual way was processed by senior researcher Ulubaeva T.R.
Seismic stations with modern digital equipment manufactured by the prestigious foreign company Nanometrics (Canada) were installed within the framework of the project “Connecting Seismic Networks of Central Asia and the Caucasus” with the support of the International Scientific and Technical Center in the Republic of Tajikistan.
