NORSAR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NORSAR or Norwegian Seismic Array was established in 1968 as part of the Norwegian-US agreement for the detection of earthquakes and nuclear explosions.[citation needed] NORSAR was the first non-US site included in ARPANET in 1973.[1] Since 1999, NORSAR has been an independent research foundation.[citation needed]
Located at Kjeller, north of Oslo, NORSAR runs and maintains seismic arrays in Norway and it is the designated Norwegian National Data Centre for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.[citation needed] NORSAR conducts basic seismological research, develops software and provides consultancy for the petroleum industry.[citation needed]
