Geophysical Division of the Earth Science Institute SAS is focused on evaluation of geophysical fields and on the assessment of the Earth structure and composition, with a special emphasis on the territory of the Western Carpathians, on the development of methods and approaches for geophysical inferences, and on the research of energy budget radiation in atmosphere and on atmospheric polutions. This division permanently records seismic activities, monitors temporal and spatial changes of the geomagnetic field, and documents slow deformation of the Earth crust as well as non-standard meteorological research. Data from the observatories are permanently evaluated and offer an experimental baseline for geophysical research and expertise in Slovakia. At the same time, the data provided to the international seismic centers and are incorporated into global seismic datasets.
