Abstract

Summary

The science of seismology is relatively new. In the last 100 years, important milestones were achieved both in the understanding of the geological particularities which influences the earthquakes occurrences and in the development of seismological instruments.

In Romania, the seismological service was founded at the end of XIX century by the initiative of some dedicated researchers in the field of astronomy, geosciences, mathematics and physics. In 1902 in Romania there were two seismological services at Bucharest and Timisoara.

Through hard work and devotement, these earthquake study initiatives extended in organizing the first seismic stations in Romania. In time, the seismic stations activity was organized in a more durable context, by creating the Romanian Seismic Network.

Nowadays, the Romanian Seismic Network has over 200 stations both in Romania and in neighboring countries, fully equipped with digital instruments of high precision.
