Civil and scientific applications using data from the International Monitoring System of the CTBTO
Authors C. Saragiotis, R. LeBras, P. Mialle and P. NielsenSummaryThe role of the CTBTO is to ensure that the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty is observed by means of detecting nuclear tests. The data collected by its International Monitoring Station, however, can and have been used to contribute to sustainable development, knowledge expansion and human welfare. A number of such civil and scientific applications are be presented as well as vDEC, a system put in place by the CTBTO to share its data with interested parties.

Virtual Seismological Network of Sofia University - a research database
Authors L. Dimova, R. Raykova, L. Dimitrova and M. TsekovSummaryVirtual Seismological Network of Sofia University (VSNSU) is operating since 2015 and it is supported by the Scientific Research Fund of Sofia University. The network consists of 16 seismic stations from 6 different countries in the Balkan Peninsula region. The seismological database consists of structured files containing: the characteristics of each analyzed earthquake (location, origin time, depth, etc.); different magnitudes; focal mechanisms; and seismic phases from the station records. The database structured a different measurements made since the operation of the VSNSU and included also the available information from different international datacenters. Database includes also the specific manuals for the used software explained by an individual example. The purpose of the established database is to simplify the education and research of the students as well as to contribute to the inter-institutional international cooperation.

National Geoinformation Center – scientific infrastructure for dissemination of accurate, durable and reliable geodata and products
Authors N. Miloshev, P. Trifonova, I. Georgiev, T. Marinova, V. Slabakova, N. Dobrev, V. Milusheva and T. GuerovSummaryThe NATIONAL GEOINFORMATION CENTER (NGIC) is a newly established scientific infrastructure for cooperation and integration of human resources, informational products and data from monitoring networks and observatories, their complex analysis and implementation into services to the community. It is part of the National road map for scientific infrastructure (2017–2023), adopted by the Council of Ministers of Bulgaria. NGIC is a distributed infrastructure with national territorial coverage and incorporates monitoring networks, observatories, observation stations, laboratories, computing centers and other specialized equipment of the participating partners. The partners joined in the research consortium are four institutes working in the field of Earth observation: the National Institute of Geophysics, Geodesy and Geography (NIGGG), the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH), the Institute of Oceanology (IO), the Geological Institute (GI), and two institutes competent in ICT: the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics (IMI) and the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Using all the initial capacity which partners have, NGIC will strive to provide permanent access to geo information, to deliver reliable data and services for the geo-environment and to support the effective prevention from natural and anthropogenic disasters and industrial accidents.

Investigation of Trees’ Internal Structure Using Electric Resistivity Method
Authors Y. Yilmaz, T. Isseven and N.G. AydinSummaryThe resistivity method in geophysics is used to solve various geological and engineering problems. Recently, this non-destructive method has been used on trees to investigate possible infections within the trunks by creating resistivity tomography images. In this study, the electrical resistivity method has been applied on various tree types at three different locations in Istanbul, Turkey. Then the measured data are processed via a specifically written program in MATLAB. The processed data are used to prepare resistivity contour plots as slices and the results are interpreted considering moisture content within the trunk.
