Presentation on Bhutan’s Seismic Network System

Presentation Outline Location of Bhutan Background About Seismology Division Ongoing programs and projects National Seismic monitoring system Systematic Data Merge System Future Plans

Location: Tibet(China)in the north and India in the East West and South Asian Map Showing the Location of Bhutan(Google map)

Facts about Bhutan Area : 38,394 sq. Km Population: approx. 720679 (NSB 2012) with density 18.8 Square km Capital :Thimphu Altitude : Varies from 150m to 7570m above sea level National Language : Dzongkha Climate: Four seasons (Spring, summer, Autumn & Winter) 20 Districts of Bhutan(Source:Kuensel)

Background Bhutan lies in a region of seismically active zone. Historically, Bhutan has experienced earthquakes of varying magnitude. Some of the Past events 1713 somewhere in western Bhutan (Magnitude??---major quake reportedly) Assam Earthquake in 1950 (magnitude; 8.6) Nepal-Bihar earthquake in 1934 (mag. 8.1) Eastern Bhutan in 2009 (mag. 6.1) Sikkim, India in 2011 (Mag. 6.8)

About Seismology Division Seismology and related studies started very recently in Bhutan Seismology Division created in 2011

Ongoing Programs/Projects Risk assessment of geo-hazards Installation of Earthquake Monitoring system Geophysical mapping of Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) in southern Bhutan GPS study to determine the characteristics of under thrusting Indian plate Marco-seismic hazard mapping of Bhutan; Micro-zonation of 1 pilot area

National Seismic Monitoring System World Bank/DPRI Stations Phase-I Installation of 6 numbers of earthquake monitoring stations with support from World Bank, Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University and National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED), Tsukuba, Japan Proposed station location under RIMES support Control Center in DGM Office, Thimphu Phase-II Installation of 8 numbers of earthquake monitoring stations with support from RIMES (Regional Integrated Multi-hazard Early Warning System), based in Bangkok Thailand
