The activities of the Swiss Seismological Service are divided into four sections:
This section operates Switzerland's national seismic network and uses it for basic and applied seismological research.
The earthquake hazard and risk section supports the SED in its mission to mitigate earthquake risks.
The earthquake processes section focuses on understanding, describing, and modelling earthquake processes and wave propagation in various contexts.
The support section plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth running of the SED by providing administrative, communication and technical support.
