ALPHA

The ALPHA family of broadband seismometers is at the core of Gaiacode's geophysical instrumentation program. Based on a newly designed sensor, whose response to ground motion is governed by a double-nested feedback loop, the ALPHA seismometers are a versatile, low-noise family of seismic instruments. Being offered in various different versions ALPHAs can be used for all aspects of seismic measurements, from recording local and regional earthquakes to low frequency teleseismic studies.
