About us

The Mesopotamian Seismological Network (MPSN) was established by Haydar Al-Shukri and Hanan Mahdi from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UA Little Rock) in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL). The project received initial support from the National Science Foundation, the US Department of Energy, and UA Little Rock. It involved the installation of broadband seismic stations, as well as training and capacity building for research and infrastructure. All stations were installed in cooperation with the Universities of Baghdad, Basrah, Sumer, Anbar, Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk, and Duhok.
