The number and quality of seismic stations and networks in Europe continually improves, nevertheless there is always scope to optimize their performance. In this session we welcome contributions from all aspects of seismic network installation, operation and management. This includes site selection; equipment testing and installation; planning and implementing communication paths; policies for redundancy in data acquisition, processing and archiving; and integration of different datasets including GPS and OBS.
The Seismic Networks Session is nowadays a de facto standard, which was already successfully held at European Seismological Commission (ESC) 2014 General Assembly (GA) in Istanbul, ESC 2012 GA in Moscow and ESC 2010 GA in Montpellier, and at European Geosciences Union (EGU) EGU2010, EGU2011, EGU2012, EGU2013, EGU2014, EGU2015 and EGU2016 General Assemblies in Vienna.
