The Geophysics and Seismology Laboratory (GSL) is in charge to provide research activities and services in:

• Seismic Risk investigations in rural and urban areas and/or at sites of major infrastructures.
• Microzonation studies for seismic hazard mitigation in cities or populated areas.
• Studies of seismic precursors tracing in areas of high or low seismic activity.
• Seismic source and strong ground motion research for designing major infrastructures.
• Seismotectonic studies for the location of active faults.
• Participation in structure vulnerability studies due to potential seismic load in conjunction with soil category.
• Designing emergency response scenarios to potential earthquake disaster in specific regions.
• Seminars, lectures and publications aimed to inform the public on earthquakes and on the means of protection and hazard mitigation. Emphasis is given to inform students in Primary and Secondary Education
• Geophysical research
• Problem solving in engineering seismology and geology (i.e. identification of the depth and topography of the base rock for the foundation of major bridges, dams, port infrastructures, e.t.c).
• Seismic Tomography studies
• Geoelectric Tomography studies
• Application of Seismic Refraction and Seismic Reflection studies.
• Physics of Geo-material
• Production and dissemination of Thematic maps, (geological, land use, geomorphological and geophysical maps, e.t.c)
• Production and dissemination of digital orthophotos (ortho-images)
• Digital Terrain Modeling (D.T.M)
• Land use and management
• Geoenvironmental and Natural Resources Monitoring and Protection
• Spatial Distribution and monitoring of geo-environmental phenomena
