 The Seismograph Network of the Charlevoix-Kamouraska Seismic Zone

.

1- The Local Seismograph Network

Charlevoix local seismographs
Location of the permanent seismograph stations in the CSZ. Some stations were relocated between 1977 and 1985, without changing the general distribution of stations. Since 1985, the stations are: A11; A16; A21; A54; A61; A64. Other stations currently operating are LMQ (broadband) and SHQ (analogue). LPQ was a digital ECTN station no longer in operation.

3- The National Seismograph Network

If sufficiently strong, the seismic waves of the Charlevoix-Kamouraska earthquakes can be recorded hundreds of kilometres away, on the Canadian National Seismograph Network
