The Luxembourg Seismic Network (LuxSNet)

LuxSNet was developed starting from the early sites of Walferdange, Vianden and Kalborn, with the intention to design a network adequate for the monitoring of potential seismic activity in Luxembourg and its surroundings. In addition, the LuxSNet seismic stations also register the seismic waves generated by major earthquakes around the World.

LuxSNet currently consists of thirteen broadband seismic stations. The broadband stations are equipped with Streckeisen STS-2 (station WLF), Guralp CMG-3ESPC and Nanometrics Trillium Compact sensors. All data from LuxSNet are transmitted in real-time to the ECGS data center located in our office building in Walferdange using a cellular network system. Some of the sites were first used in a temporary deployment carried out in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in the framework of the project LUXBB. These sites have now been re-occupied with long-term deployments of ECGS-owned instruments.
