DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, I will report challenges and achievements re
 lated to the management of a portable network of broadband seismic instrum
 ents. The presentation has two main parts. In the first part\, I will pres
 ent the motivations for running a passive seismic network in the Olduvai b
 asin\, also referred to as the “Cradle of Mankind”\, located off the s
 outhern tip of the eastern branch of the East African Rift. I will show ho
 w our network contributed to the planning of the next round of paleoanthro
 pological investigations in the Olduvai basin and to the general understan
 ding of the East African Rift evolution. In the second part\, I will give 
 an overview of the current seismic networks that we run in the western por
 tion of the Arabian plate with the goal of revealing the big mysteries of 
 the Red Sea rift and its collateral elements\, such as transform faults\, 
 fracture zones and volcanism.
