Both natural tectonic and human-induced earthquakes occur in the Netherlands, causing ground shaking at the surface. Other man-induced vibrations, mainly caused by building or transport activities, may also occur.
KEM focuses on improving the monitoring and understanding of earthquakes genesis (source), the propagation of vibrations and the resulting hazard at the surface (path), and the impact on the built environment, people and the environment (impact).
