  • Seismic Observation and Seismicity of Zimbabwe Mr
    Seismic Observation and Seismicity of Zimbabwe Mr. Innocent Gibbon Tirivanhu MASUKWEDZA (2016 Global Seismology course) Meteorological Services Department of Zimbabwe 1. Introduction The Seismology section falls under the Meteorological Services Department of Zimbabwe. Currently, the department is functional under the Ministry of Environment, Water and Climate as a result of its main purpose being to contribute towards the safety of both life and property of Zimbabwe inhabitants. 2. Historical Background of Seismicity Measurements The need to monitor the seismicity of Zimbabwe came about by the construction of the Kariba dam as a way to monitor reservoir induced seismicity, but the idea was further expanded to include natural earthquakes. By then, the seismological station network composed of four analogue stations namely Bulawayo, Karoi, Mt Darwin and Chiredzi and these operated up to early 1990s. Although the dam construction began early in the 1950’s, seismograph stations were not deployed to monitor seismic activity until 1959, the year the dam was impounded. Since then, seismic activity in and around Zimbabwe has continuously been monitored. For the period 1959 to date, over 4,000 earthquakes in and around the country have been recorded. The largest earthquake recorded is that of magnitude 6.1 which occurred at Lake Kariba on September 23, 1963. The instruments to measure the seismicity of the country were issued to St George’s School (located in the city of Bulawayo) and later transferred to the Lawley Road site (situated in the same city) in 1903 with the arrival of Father Goetz. The main historical events after the arrival of Father Goetz are: 1950 – Dam wall construction of Lake Kariba and the sudden need for a seismological station.
