Presentation at IAGA / IASPEI Joint Scientific Meeting 2025
Published in Publications
Our research work titled “Development of Low-Cost Seismic Monitoring System for Field Application in Bangladesh” was recently presented at the IAGA / IASPEI Joint Scientific Meeting 2025 held in Lisbon. The presentation was delivered by Prof. Dr. Tahmeed M. Al-Hussaini, Principal Investigator of the project.
This RISE-funded research initiative at BUET focuses on designing and deploying affordable accelerometers and inclinometers equipped with remote communication features for earthquake and landslide early-warning applications in Bangladesh.
Highlights of the Work:
Prototype BLCA accelerometers successfully validated through shake-table testing.
Deployment of BLCA units across different districts, ensuring continuous seismic monitoring.
The station (BLCA 7) installed at CUET recorded an earthquake on 31 July 2025, demonstrating strong field performance.
System architecture emphasizes cost-effectiveness, 24/7 data acquisition at 100 SPS, cloud integration, and automated alerts based on threshold exceedance.
With laboratory validation complete, the project is now progressing toward system improvements to support the development of a sustainable early-warning network for Bangladesh.
