Inventory of mobile seismological instruments: SISMOB

**Scientific objectives

The Inventory of Mobile Seismological Instruments (SISMOB) enables the collection of targeted seismological data, as a complement or substitute to permanent seismological observatories.

**Organization

ISTerre is charged with the technical and scientific management of SISMOB’s national inventory and is a member of the national French seismological and geodesic network (RESIF). The ISTerre team oversees the planning and use of all material. The captors, digitizers, and accompanying elements (such as GPS receptors and solar panels) are prepared by ISTerre and distributed throughout the world. Our laboratory offers technical assistance and is in charge of testing and repairing damaged materials. The functioning of the procurement chain is produced at ISTerre. Based on land configurations, it is transferred to SISMOB’s database. Further distribution is overseen by RESIF informational systems.

**Implementation

The network is made up of instruments with purposes ranging from risks, high-resolution imaging, broadband networks, etc.
