R E S U L T S • Tectonic structure is very complicated • Certain clusters, but mostly diffused seismicity • Clockwise rotation • Need better 1-D crustal model, seismic experiment, improvement location procedure by using crosscorrelataion metheod, HypoDD or similar algorithm • Data exchange necessary with surrounding networks • Add new station for better coverage • Online transmission is installing • SeisComp is installed and testing • Near future data exchange with ORFEUS/IRIS/FDSN or similar organizations, common research projects?
