At the Conrad Observatory, seismic activiti

es (seismology), variations in gravitational acceleration and mass changes (gravimetry), magnetic field variations, geodetic parameters, atmospheric waves, as well as meteorological data are continuously monitored. The Conrad Observatory consists of two parts: The seismic-gravimetric observatory (SGO) has been opened in 2002. The geomagnetic observatory (GMO) operates since 2014.
