Data on nuclear explosions derived from Australian seismological facilities and from institutions in other countries cooperating

A Primary Seismological Station and a radionuclide laboratory are located in the Finnish territory as part of the International Monitoring System.

Meanwhile, further understanding of the lake is being gained through the analysis of the ice cores collected above the lake and through seismological studies.

The death toll figure of 242,419 came from the Chinese Seismological Service in 1988, while some sources have estimated the death toll to be at 650,000.

Though only an observer to the Conference on Disarmament, the Czech Republic intended to contribute its seismological know how to the global cooperative effort to ensure reliable detection of tests.

Participants were provided with an overview of northern Algerian seismicity, including the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite imagery from Landsat, SPOT 5, Envisat, QuickBird and Ikonos for updating seismological maps.

With regard to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, Venezuela is making its contribution by installing two seismological stations on its territory as part of the International Monitoring System of the global verification regime established under that instrument.

Mr. SVOBODA (Czech Republic), speaking in explanation of position, said that on 5 October 1993, the seismological stations in the Czech Republic had recorded a Chinese underground nuclear test equivalent to an earthquake of 5.8 on the Richter scale.

Thus, pending the entry into force of the Treaty, Argentina is actively involved in the establishment of an international monitoring system and has established on its territory a laboratory and eight stations (two infrasound three seismological three radionuclide) as part of the monitoring network.

More than half a month before the earthquake struck, Wang Chengmin (汪成民) of the State Seismological Bureau (SSB) Analysis and Prediction Department had already concluded that the Tangshan region would be struck by a significant earthquake between July 22, 1976 and August 5, 1976.

The National Civil Protection System also planned to assess the seismic vulnerability of hospitals and schools, identify buildings which could serve as shelters in the event of natural disasters and establish a national seismological network in conjunction with the geosciences institute of the University of Panama.

As part of this process three different reconnaissance missions, dispatched by UNESCO to Cairo in October 1992 immediately after the Dashur earthquake, made recommendations on the modernization and development of the seismological observatory network, on the restoration of the affected cultural and religious buildings, and on the restoration of educational establishments and school buildings.
