    I ran into a guy (affiliated with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks) working on the Windless Bight infrasound array when I was at McMurdo this season. Really fascinating stuff that I had no idea existed. They also have arrays on remote Pacific islands.

    &quot;It is often emphasised that the data belong to the Member States. A State Signatory has the right of full access to all monitoring data and data bulletins, which can assist a country in exercising its prerogative to make the final judgement in the case of a suspicious event.&quot; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ctbto.org&#x2F;our-work&#x2F;international-data-centre" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ctbto.org&#x2F;our-work&#x2F;international-data-centre</a><p>Is there an open-source alternative that serves the same purpose?

      SeiscomP could perhaps be used :<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.seiscomp.de&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.seiscomp.de&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s mentioned here by the CTBTO<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ctbto.org&#x2F;node&#x2F;9348" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ctbto.org&#x2F;node&#x2F;9348</a>

      I guess OS seismic Ground-based Nuclear Explosion Monitoring (GNEM) is possible. Here&#x27;s a high-level pdf slideshow about it and machine-learning processing. [0] Matlab-based MatSeis exists and the code part is FOSS. I guess it would take a moderate amount of software and hardware engineering effort to make a working, turn-key FOSS GNEM seismic detector. It seems prescient given the decline of warhead, missile, and test ban treaties.<p>Furthermore, in the proliferation arena, it&#x27;s possible to map breeder reactors to rough regions using terrestrial antineutrino mapping like KamLAND and what was Borexino. These aren&#x27;t really conducive to open source initiatives because of their civil engineering burdens of scale (unless one has a mine or a missile silo) and so need to be state&#x2F;academic efforts until some clever engineering might make them possible (don&#x27;t see how it&#x27;s possible because of physics) on the surface and at smaller scales.<p>0. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.osti.gov&#x2F;servlets&#x2F;purl&#x2F;1582524" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.osti.gov&#x2F;servlets&#x2F;purl&#x2F;1582524</a>
