Establishment history By the decision of the Council of Ministers of Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic in 1979 according to the decree of the National Academy of Sciences was created ”Geophysics” Geophysical Research Party at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of ANAS.

On this base, in 1980 the Experimental Methodical Geophysical Expedition was organized. The Corresponding member of ANAS, doctor of geology-mineralogical sciences Arif Gasanov supervised over expedition.

In 01.09.1998 on the basis of Azerbaijan Republic Ministers Cabinets decision №179, EMGP has been given the status of the Republican Seismic Survey Center of ANAS.

Basic activity directions  Scientific researches of RSSC ANAS cover the following complex directions:

1. Seismological studies: features of seismicity, dynamics of earthquake sources, seismic tomographic studies, the study of prognostic signs of earthquakes, a comparative analysis of earthquakes and explosions, macroseismic studies.

2. Magnetometric studies in seismic zones.

3. Gravimetric studies in seismic zones.

4. Geodynamic (GPS) studies in the republic.

5. Geochemical studies in seismic zones.

Seismic researches based on observation network which consisting of 35 telemetry seismic stations. Investigating seismicity in the territory of Republic, kinematic and dynamic parameters of earthquakes, seismic regime, the patterns of earthquakes distribution. Carrying out seismic studies of the dynamics processes in the focal areas, the definition of the active parts in the deep faults and assessment the maximum possible intensity of earthquakes. Design velocity model, studies of seismic tomography, study of the earthquakes mechanism, seismic risk assessment in big cities, works on seismic zoning, and study of seismicity in major construction projects.

Are engaged in display of seismoabnormal structures effects in geophysical areas and complex researches. Investigate geomagnetic intensity of a field through a network of geophysical stations, gravity and variations of gravitational potential of the second derivative.

Are engaged in display of seismoabnormal structures effects in geochemical areas. The analysis hydro-gas and radiochemical components in geochemical seismoactive regions of the country. These researches allow estimating the deformed-tension seismogene zones and allow finding out abnormal effects before earthquakes in seismogene areas.

Main scientific achievements  1. For the first time on the basis data of the multichannel telemetric stations, have been investigated methods of estimation cross-section parameters of waves, studying of a trajectory of cross-section waves points, the analysis of direction changes on different depth and designing of increase efficiency of cross-section waves identification in difficult geological conditions. Executors: (g-m.s.d. G.D.Yetirmishli, Ph.D. g-m.s. I.E.Kazimov.)

2. For the first time on the basis of telemetry stations network, corrections were made in times receipts of P and S waves in the Middle Kura depression and developed velocity model for   determination coordinate of earthquake epicenters. Executors: (g-m.s.d. G.D.Yetirmishli, Ph.D. g-m S.E.Kazimova.)

3. For the first time on the basis of an electronic database, has been conducted complex interpretation of parameters in geophysical areas, creation schedules of results, visualisation in a 3D format, creation of models, creation of a software package which allows to define areas of geophysical seismoabnormal effects. Executors: (g-m.s.d. G.D.Yetirmishli, Ph.D. g-m.s. T.B.Asadov.)

4. According to the analysis of geomagnetic field parameters was defined seismogenic zones of earthquakes occurring in the Great Caucasus and Talysh areas and it allows to investigate the scenario of seismic activity development in these regions. Executors: (g-m.s.d. G.D.Yetirmishli, Ph.D. in physic-mathematics A.G.Rzayev.)

5. For the first time by tools methods on the basis seismotelemetric stations, has been registered 3 step of eruption process of a mud volcano in Lokbatan. Executors: (g-m.s.d. G.D.Yetirmishli, Ph.D. on g-m.s. S.E.Kazimova.)

6. On the basis of seismotelemetric stations database information has been created mechanism of the source zones (M ≥2,5) and have been found out characteristics of deformations in seismotectonics in various seismic zones of republic. Executors: (g-m.s.d. G.D.Yetirmishli, Ph.D. on g-m.s S.E.Kazimova.)

7. For the first time on the basis of long-term monitoring of seismogeochemical and seismic areas have been defined the combinations of geochemical parameters in the Shamakhi-Ismailli seismogene zone on the basis of micro blocks and has been forecasted earthquake. Executors: (g-m.s.d. G.D.Yetirmishli, R.A.Keramova,  P.A. Abdulrazogova, E.N.Kudravtseva)

8. Assessment of the slip process dynamics using complex seismic and geophysical studies.

On the basis of seismic and geophysical studies on the Bayil slope, two new potentially dangerous slip zones were discovered, slip mass parameters and the risk of the slip process were determined. (Performers: G.J.Yetirmishli, A.G.Rzayev, H.O.Veliyev, N.B.Khanbabayev, E.S.Garaveliyev, M.G.Zeynalov).

9. Creation of an electronic information bank for seismic zoning of Greater Baku.

A database of engineering seismological, tectonic, geological and lithological, geomorphological, hydrogeological and physico-mechanical parameters of the soil has been created on the territory of Greater Baku.

The data bank is of great practical importance in seismic protection, earthquake resistant construction and emergency response measures under MES on the territory of Greater Baku. (Performers: G.J.Yetirmishli, Z.S.Aliyeva, H.J.Aliyeva, L.T.Fattakhova, A.B.Guliyeva).
