IG-EPN.Misión Reducir el impacto en la población y la infraestructura

provocado por los fenómenos sísmicos y volcánicos en el Ecuador a través del monitoreo permanente, la investigación científica y la aplicación tecnológica

Seismic Sources:

-Subduction (4 events M > 7.7 since 1906) -Quaternary Faults (Mmax 7.4)

-Volcanoes

Seismicity 1990 – present:

4 events M>616 events M>5~ 200 M>4 / year

Current Ecuadorian Seismic Network (2014):

79 broand band (Guralp 40T, 6T, Smart 24R)

30 short period (L4C)

38 accelerographs (Guralp 5T)
