Copper Basin Exploration Science (CuBES) project broadband seismometer profile, Zambia 2022 - 2024

MiniSEED seismic data files, one file per station channel, per day plus associated metadata file, in dataless SEED format. The comprehensive metadata file includes lat, long, start and end dates and full calibration information for each instrument. The CuBES Broadband Profile consists of Guralp, ESPCD and 6T seismometers which recorded both 1Hz and 100Hz passive data, across Zambia, 01/05/2022 to 21/12/2024. The Copper Basin Exploration Science (CuBES) project collected passive seismic data across the Copper Belt in Zambia to determine for the first time the large scale crustal structure of the region to enable the copper deposits to be interpreted in a geodynamic context.

Other constraints
Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.
