On Sunday, May 26th, 2024, part of the associates of the CROSSNET project departed towards the south of the Republic of Croatia to perform field measurements of microseismic noise in order to find the locations for future seismological stations. The locations chosen for the measurements were on the Pelješac peninsula, and on the islands of Korčula and Palagruža.
Field measurements were carried out in the towns of Trpanj, Kuna Pelješka and Orebić on the Pelješac peninsula, and the town of Čara on the island of Korčula using the MBB-2 seismometer and Q8 data digitizer for 24 hours. On the island of Palagruža, the ETNA2 accelerograph and MBB-2 seismometer were installed, which will record earthquakes for the next few months.
We express our gratitude towards PLOVPUT d.o.o. which enabled us to sail to the most remote Croatian island of Palagruža.
