Professors in the Geophysics area of ​​the Physics Department of ISEL recently installed a three-component RaspberryShake 3D seismic station on the Institute's campus as part of the activities developed at the IDL-ISEL hub.

This station, identified by the code R6379, consists of a three-component seismic sensor coupled to a compact, low-cost acquisition system. The sensor records ground movements in three main directions — vertical, north-south, and east-west — enabling detailed monitoring of seismic activity. The sensor is short-period (4.5Hz), making it particularly sensitive to local or regional seismicity.

The equipment is integrated into the global Raspberry Shake network, which brings together thousands of stations distributed worldwide in institutions, schools, and homes. This collaborative network enables monitoring of seismic activity, enabling higher spatial resolution, contributing to both scientific research and citizen science projects.

Widely used by institutional agencies responsible for seismic monitoring, researchers and citizens, it promotes open access to data and encourages public participation in the study of seismology. The acquired data are freely accessible, promoting a logic of open science and global collaboration.
