IGESInstitute of Geophysics & Engineering Seismology
Monitoring the Earth beneath Armenia — seismology, geodynamics and engineering seismology. Home of the China–Armenia Seismograph & GNSS Network.
Founded in 1961, IGES conducts research in geophysics, seismology and engineering seismology, operates monitoring networks, assesses seismic hazard, and trains the next generation of scientists.
A joint network of 10 seismogeodynamic stations and a data center in Gyumri, inaugurated in 2025. Real-time seismic and GNSS observations across Armenia — with an interactive map, event catalog and station gallery.
Continuous recording and cataloging of earthquakes across the region in real time.
Measuring crustal motion and deformation with satellite geodesy and strong-motion sensors.
Seismic hazard assessment, zoning and cartography for safe construction.
The 10-station China–Armenia network and data center were inaugurated in Gyumri.
Field stations equipped with seismometers, accelerometers and GNSS across Armenia.
Event data published online for research, hazard assessment and education.
Earthquake monitoring & modeling under the Belt & Road initiative.
