This booth will provide a good overview of the important contribution to global and regional DRR established and maintained by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) and its International Monitoring System (IMS).

The CTBTO’s 300+ monitoring stations constantly monitor the globe for signs of clandestine nuclear explosions.

The data collected and analysed from four complementary technologies – seismic, hydroacoustic, infrasound, and radionuclide – also provide a treasure trove for scientists of different disciplines, and are used in a wide range of DRR applications, including tsunami warning, monitoring volcanoes and ash clouds, studying seismic events, and more.
