A team of international researchers has achieved a breakthrough in earthquake monitoring in Ethiopia's Southern Main Ethiopian Rift (SMER) by establishing a cutting-edge seismic network near the town of Arba Minch. The initiative addresses long-standing gaps in seismic data coverage, significantly improving earthquake detection and localization accuracy in this tectonically active region. 

used for several months in the Department of composites and carbon materials Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences in Prague for the preparation of nanofibres. It is capable of producing micro and nano fibers of polymers, ceramics materials...

The first stage of building a giant landslide monitoring network on El Hierro, the smallest of the Canary Islands, was completed by the beginning of February, experts from the Department of Engineering Geology Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics (IRSM) AV CR. This work is funded by the National Geographic Society grant and the Waitt Institute. Coastal and submarine landslides on volcanic islands, the largest known landslides on Earth. In the Canary Islands, they occurred fairly regularly over the last 300,000 years and probably for them were large and tsunami.
