How Do Mountains Form? New Monitoring Stations for AlpArray

AlpArray is a European initiative in order to advance our understanding of mountain building processes and create 3D images of the lithosphere and upper mantle. To achieve this, AlpArray establishes and operates a seismic monitoring network (AASN) that combines existing stations of 24 seismological observatories with eventually more than 250 new temporary stations in 12 countries covering the Alps, the Northern Apennines and their forelands.
