Autumn at the Gyulagarak observatory

gyulagarak-2026-11-house-golden-forest

On 12 November the director of the institute and a member of staff visited the complex geophysical observatory of the institute in Gyulagarak and inspected its pavilions and instruments. The observatory stands in a quiet pine forest, and in mid-November the forest around it was golden.

The old wooden house among the pines is waiting for restoration, but it already does important work: it houses Gyulagarak (GLRK), a seismic station of the CHARNET network. So the Earth’s magnetic field and earthquakes are studied here in one place.
