Abstract:

In November 2018, CTBTO staff came to Iraq to set up and install the capacity building system for our national data center. It includes analysis programs that have improved our analysis and allowed us to pinpoint the earthquakes that occurred in Iraq on the 25 November 2018. We, therefore, need to differentiate between earthquakes and events of human origin. The importance of implementing CBS is to enable us to continuously monitor and coordinate seismic activities in our region, receiving data using the International Monitoring System (IMS) data and IDC products for the region. verification of the treaty. By accessing and analyzing the seismic waveform we can educate the public about the CTBT and its verification regime by involving university students and youth interested in nuclear non-proliferation research by providing them with knowledge about CTBTO and data. We share our experiences with the Organization to promote non-proliferation goals and scientific applications. Our earthquake detection in Iraq is an example of scientific applications related to non-proliferation. The proposed paper will focus on the role and comparison between the earthquake in Iraq in 2017 and 2018 and how CBS enhances IHS data processing capabilities.
