SnT 2019 Poster - Relative location of North Korean nuclear tests using IMS data

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

We are creating RELLOC, an 'NDC-in-a-Box'-friendly program for estimating the relative location of small groups of seismic events, such as mineblasts and nuclear tests. What makes RELLOC unique is (1) its integration with the 'Geotool' program workflow, and (2) the simple yet robust quality control step that allows the analyst to address data quality issues at the station, event, and trace level. Using only 11 regional IMS and IRIS seismic stations, we show that RELLOC produces relative locations similar in precision to those of published studies at North Korea's Punggye-ri test site.
