Seismological experiment at Strokkur from 2020

Seismological experiment at Strokkur from 2020" is a seismological experiment realized at the most active geyser on Iceland by Eva Eibl (University of Potsdam) in collaboration with Gylfi P. Hersir formerly at ISOR Iceland. The geyser is part of the Haukadalur geothermal area in south Iceland, which contains numerous geothermal anomalies, hot springs, and basins (Walter et al., 2018). Strokkur is a pool geyser and has a silica sinter edifice with a water basin on top, which is about 12m in diameter with a central tube of more than 20m depth. The aim of the seismic experiment is to monitor eruptions of Strokkur geyser from March 2020 using three broadband seismic stations (Nanometrics Trillium Compact 120s). Sensors were buried at distances of 38.8m (GE4, SE), 47.3m (GE3, SW), and 42.5m (GE2, N) from Strokkur center. Within this time period about 1 month of data is missing due to power outages. At any other times at least one station recorded the eruptions. From this dataset, converted to MSEED using Pyrocko, currently a catalogue of 506,131 water fountains was determined and further investigated in Eibl et al. (2025). In addition, Eibl et al. (2025) assessed the effect of the weather on the system including the bubble trap suspected at around 24 m depth by Eibl et al. (2021). Waveform data are available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 2Z.

DZA short-term seismic network in the Lausitz

A network of 209 continuously running digital seismic stations equipped with short-period geophones (200 stations) and broadband sensors (9 stations) was deployed in an area of ~14 x ~14 km in the Lausitz (Saxony, Germany) for a period of ~5 weeks. The main objectives were 1) to create a 3-D model of the subsurface (shear wave velocity; ambient noise tomography) using the ambient seismic noise field and 2) to investigate the spatio-temporal distribution of the seismic noise (and noise sources). The project is related to the preparations for the construction of a ‘Low Seismic Lab’ (as part of the German Center for Astrophysics, DZA) and potentially the Einstein Telescope. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 9I.

EnvSeis project, Kåfjord

This network of sixteen geophones and six broadbands was installed in Kåfjord, Troms og Finnmark, Norway, to study two rockslides: Njárgavárri and Indre Nordneset. Each study site had three broadbands from September 2023 to June 2025. In addition, were installed and recording: September – November 2023: six geophones on each site; April – August 2024: four geophones at Njárgavárri and ten at Indre Nordneset. The geophones were installed locally around the rockslides while the broadbands were installed one to a few kilometers from the rockslides (except for one of them directly at Indre Nordneset). The geophones in Njárgavárri were first installed as two triangular antennas of four stations each (three in triangle and one in the middle) and were then replaced by a small aperture array around the most active part of the unstable slope. The goal was to record all activities: rock falls, cracking and creeping movements. In Indre Nordneset, the geophone stations were placed in a small aperture array all around the main scarp and surface of failure to record the cracking activity. The geophones are of type 3-D Geophone PE-6/B with DATA-CUBE3 (built-in GPS). The broadbands are of type STS-2.5 with EDR-10 digitizers. Sampling frequency was 400 Hz for geophone stations, 200 Hz broadbands. Gain was at 16 (15.258789 nV/count) for the geophone stations, set on high (100 nV/bit) for the broadband stations. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 8I.

3 Days of Active Experiment using 8 Rotational Sensors and 5 Seismometers in November 2019:

We provide seismological data from a huddle test in Fürstenfeldbruck in November 2019 that was realized by University of Potsdam in collaboration with BGR and LMU. 8 rotational sensors (blueSeis-3A) were installed in a bunker beside FUR station (Streckeisen STS2.5) at the Geophysical Observatory of the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich on the first day. For the second day the 8 rotational sensors were distributed in the field and co-located with 5 seismometers (Trillium Horizon 120s Nanometrics). The sensors were placed onto a rigid monument that consists of a 50 × 50 × 5 cm³ concrete plate.We recorded 2 fired explosions on the first day and 3 on the second day along with a vibroseis truck. The aim of the seismic experiment is to compare the performance of rotational sensors and seismometers with respect to different active sources. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 6V.

Identification and Assessment of Deep Geothermal Heat Resources in Challenging Urban Environments (GEO_URBAN)

The ability to use geothermal resources to generate heat in urban areas where the demand is greatest has the potential to significantly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, and to support sustainable energy policies. Potential deep geothermal resources in challenging, lower-enthalpy EU settings remain poorly understood and largely untapped. The GEO-URBAN project aims to explore the potential for low enthalpy geothermal in urban environments. The project will focus on two target locations – Dublin, Ireland and Vallès, Spain – and will provide a feasibility analysis for the commercial development of deep geothermal resources in these regions. The overall objective of GEO-URBAN is to identify the geothermal resources available in two challenging urban locations and to demonstrate a commercialisation strategy that has the potential to be adapted in other similar locations. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 1V, and is {fully open.

Multiparametric measurements of the 2021 Tajogaite eruption on La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain

This data repository contains electrical and seismic tremor measurements, thermal infrared imagery, atmospheric conditions and information on plume heights that were recorded and collected during the 2021 Tajogaite eruption on La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. The 2021 Tajogaite eruption lasted from 19 September until 13 December 2021. The "data description" file provides more detailed information on each dataset and the way the data is formatted. The electrical data was recorded using a Biral Thunderstorm Detector BTD-200. This sensor was installed at two consecutive locations: BTD1 (28.635°N, 17.876389°W) recorded from 11-26 October 2021 and BTD2 (28.602365°N, 17.880475°W) recorded from 27 October 2021 until the end of the eruption. The volcanic tremor measurements were recorded at seismic station PLPI (28.5722°N, 17.8654°W), which was operated by the Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias. Here we provide the seismic tremor amplitudes within the Very Long Period (0.4-0.6 Hz) and the Long Period (1-5 Hz) frequency bands between 10 September and 20 December 2021. Thermal infrared videography of the explosive volcanic activity was done using an InfraTec HD thermal infrared (TIR) video camera. This camera was installed in El Paso (28.649361°N, 17.882279°W) and recorded almost continuously between 3-8 November 2021. Here we provide individual thermal infrared frames. Atmospheric conditions were obtained from weather balloon measurements at Güímar (station nr. 60018) on Tenerife, which were provided by the University of Wyoming, Department of Atmospheric Science (http://weather.uwyo.edu/). In addition, atmospheric data was collected from ground-based weather stations at El Paso and Roque de los Muchachos, which were operated by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) of Spain on La Palma. Information on the volcanic plume heights was obtained from both the Toulouse Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (https://vaac.meteo.fr/volcanoes/la-palma/) as well as the Plan de Emergencias Volcánicas de Canarias.

GEOREAL - GEOthermal experiments in the KTB deep laboratory under REAL conditions of a deep borehole

To seismically monitor the GEOREAL hydraulic stimulation experiment, that took place during the period 6-15 November 2023, a station network was set up in the vicinity of the Kontinentale Tiefbohrung/ KTB deep crustal lab near Windischeschenbach, Germany. The network comprised both surface stations, shallow borehole (25-150 m deep) stations as well as a borehole chain at 2000 m depth in the main borehole, ca. 200m apart from the pilot borehole. First stations were installed in early 2022 and removed in mid-2024. A total of 600 m³ of water was injected into the 4 km deep pilot borehole (KTB-VB, 12° 7.16' E, 49° 48.98' N, 513.418 m above NN ). This volume was injected through a stuck packer in the cased borehole into the open borehole section a depth of 3.85-4 km. No induced seismicity was observed during the injection experiment. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 4R, and is fully open.
