May 2020 - Special Issue in the EGU journal Solid Earth
The open access EGU journal Solid Earth has opened a special issue on:
New insights on the tectonic evolution of the Alps and the adjacent orogens.
The special issue is dedicated to state-of-the art research on the Alps and the adjacent orogens. It will improve our understanding of mountain-building processes and the past and ongoing tectonic evolution in the region. This multi- and interdisciplinary effort integrates geophysics, tectonics, petrology, geochronology, and basin and surface studies. The contributions highlight recent efforts to image deep structures, track motion and deformation of the crust and mantle through time, and investigate the surface response to deep-seated processes. Thus, the volume will showcase results of the European AlpArray project, which has featured a seismic station network with an unprecedented density in the Alpine region. We invite researchers from the AlpArray project and beyond, and from all fields to contribute to this volume.

April 2018 - OBS are back on land
The marine part (OBS) of AlpArray has been installed in June 2017 in the Ligurian Sea and has been dismateled this month (February). Currently the research vessel Maria S. Merian is sealing the Mediterranean to get the OBS back.

3 February 2016 - AlpArray starts!
The AlpArray official starting date is January 1 2016. 2/3 of the AlpArray Seismic Network (260 temporary BB stations) are installed and working since the end of 2015. The data are available trought EIDA (only for registered users of the Core Group Member Institutions)

21 December 2015 - The AlpArray Seismic Network is now runnning!
The AlpArray backbone is running. 2/3 of the 260 temporary stations are installed and running.
