The Saudi National Seismic and Volcanic Monitoring Network integrates broadband seismic stations, ground acceleration units, and DGPS/GPS stations to track crustal movement.
The system provides essential data to assess risks, update building codes, and educate the public on geological hazards.
Officials emphasized that the network is particularly critical for monitoring earthquake activity and potential volcanic threats in the geologically active western region of the Arabian Peninsula.
