Charlevoix-Kamouraska Seismic Zone
The Local Seismograph Network
Location of the permanent seismograph stations in the CSZ. Some stations were relocated between 1977 and 1985, without changing the general distribution of stations. Since 1985, the stations are: A11; A16; A21; A54; A61; A64. Other stations currently operating are LMQ (broadband) and SHQ (analogue). LPQ was a digital ECTN station no longer in operation.
