Abstract
La misión del Observatorio Sismológico y Vulcanológico (OSV) del Centro de Ciencias de la Tierra de la Universidad Veracruzana (CCTUV) es contribuir a la Protección Civil en el estado de Veracruz mediante el estudio sistemático de la sismicidad y vulcanismo activo de esta entidad a través de su monitoreo permanente, evaluando el impacto en su entorno e identificando oportunamente el peligro asociado con la finalidad de informar a los encargados de generar las medidas preventivas, tomadores de decisiones y a la sociedad en general. El OSV también colabora en el desarrollo de investigación básica y aplicada, la implementación de metodologías y tecnologías de vanguardia, generación de productos académicos de valor científico, y el apoyo en procesos orientados a la comprensión de estos fenómenos geofísicos.
Abstract: The mission of the Seismological and Volcanological Observatory (OSV) at the
Center of Earth Sciences of the Universidad Veracruzana (CCTUV) is to contribute to the
Civil Protection in the state of Veracruz through the systematic study of seismicity and active volcanism of this entity by the means of constant monitoring, evaluating the impact on the environment and identifying associated hazard with the purpose of informing the responsible entities for generating preventive measures, decision makers and society in general. The OSV is also working on the development of basic and applied research, implementation of methodologies and cutting-edge technologies, generation of academic products of scientific value, and support measures aimed at understanding these geophysical phenomena.
Keywords: Observatory; university; seismicity; volcanism.
