Seismic Researches Division

 

Introduction

The seismic section started at the beginning of the work of the Institute of Geophysics as an integrated department in the university of Tehran. This section has been created to provide a foundation for applied research in the field of seismology and communication with organizations and other centers. In addition, this section offers different students training courses, geological structures studies, geotechnical studies, environmental applications, sub-surface studies for the development of infrastructure, especially in dams, tunnels, subways, and the construction of vital buildings and facilities.
