Seismic data for Sierra Negra volcano, Galapagos Islands 2022-25

Seismic data for four stations located on Seirra Negra volcano, Galapagos Islands, between 2022 and 2025. The stations were maintained and operated by NERC grant NE/W007274/1. The instruments (SN07, SN12, SN14, and SN17) are four GeoBit GeoTiny 'wideband' seismometers. SN17 replaced SN07 in 2023, at a new site ~200m from the old location. The data cover a period of surface uplift at Sierra Negra, driven by magma accumulation following the 2018 eruption. Data are uploaded as miniseed files, in folder structured by station/channel. Files follow a standard naming format e.g. 'EC.SN12..HHZ.D.2022.001' SN07: -0.80719, -91.17005, 1067m SN12: -0.811195, -91.134960, 954m SN14: -0.843680, -91.152610, 917m SN17: -0.805954, -91.170256, 1068m An xml file is also included which contains useful metadata about the station locations and instrument responses.
