Description

The Nepal School Seismology Network is a low-cost seismological network installed for both educational and observational purposes. After a pilot station installed in 2018, the network operates 22 sensors since April-May 2019 (see map).

The sensors are RaspberryShake 1D instruments. The data is freely available to the public through IRIS (http://ds.iris.edu) and RaspberryShake (https://raspberryshake.org/).

The online waveforms are visible at: https://raspberryshake.net/stationview/ (then zoom to Nepal).

The station are regrouped under the "_NSSN" virtual network code. Full details on the stations can be found here: http://ds.iris.edu/mda/_NSSN/

Further details on the Seismology at School in Nepal program can be found here: www.seismoschoolnp.org

Both the program and the network operate on a non-profit basis.

We are grateful to all participating schools, teachers and students for hosting the instruments.
