The Geophysics Section within DIAS operates and maintains the Irish National Seismic Network (INSN), since 2018 with support from the Geological Survey Ireland (GSI). The INSN has operated since 1978 and currently comprises six permanent seismic stations. Station DSB is operated in collaboration with the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ, Germany) and station VAL is operated in collaboration with Met Eireann and GFZ. Data are transmitted from the seismic stations in real-time to the INSN data centre located in 5 Merrion Square, Dublin 2 and to our international partners GFZ, the British Geological Survey (BGS), ORFEUS and IRIS.

Sometimes, as a geophysicist, you come across #gravityArt that looks like a "World War Z" poster. But I tell you, it is just a benchmark between two forward spherical harmonic codes that approach the numeric noise levels of their computers. #TUDelft & @dias_geophysicsRetweeted by

All set and ready to go for #CultureNight#OicheChultuir Ask Dr Mícheál Hoyne or Dr @Naoicea ANYTHING about Medieval & early modren Irish satire.
The first talk will kick off 5.30pm followed by a second one at 6.30pm. Enjoy!

How loud is the Irish Sea? These @RS_Aqua ORCAs from @dias_geophysics are ready to listen for ships passing, trawling or maybe dolphins?🐬Even our geophysics with @DrMarkyC @iCRAGcentre onboard #CelticVoyager makes noise!
