Workshop for Improved seismic event location using the Regional Seismic Travel Time (RSTT) Method
Workshop for Improved seismic event location using the Regional Seismic Travel Time (RSTT) Method is being held during November 7–11, 2022 in Kathmandu, Nepal. Government of Nepal, National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), Department of Mines and Geology (DMG), Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and National Society for Earthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET) are jointly organizing this workshop. There are scientists and professionals from 19 countries participating this workshop.
The Regional Seismic Travel Time (RSTT) model and method was originally developed in the late 2000s by the U.S. National Laboratories for the U.S. National Data Center (USNDC). The US provided RSTT to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization Provisional Technical Secretariat (CTBTO-PTS) in 2012 to improve data processing at the International Data Center (IDC). Since then, RSTT has undergone rigorous testing and it is now incorporated into the IDC operational system. As part of the CTBTO-PTS capacity building program, RSTT is featured in international workshops with the goal of familiarizing CTBT signatory states with technology that is used at the IDC. Workshops also help scientists in signatory states utilize RSTT for their own CTBT verification efforts, which works towards the goal of consistent data analysis in the international community.
