Recent advances in manufacturing sensitive, affordable seismic sensors, and the capacity to process and understand large amounts of seismic data, have led to an evolution of seismic acquisitions for the research community. From a single or few sensors, deployments are now from hundreds to thousands of sensors, bringing new knowledge of the earth’s interior. Seven Finnish academic and research institutions teamed up to build and run the Finnish mobile seismic instrument pool (FINNSIP), to serve the seismologist community with the instruments they need. The seismic instrumentation includes 46 broadband seismometers and digitizers, 5 accelerometers, and 1229 and 71 Geospace and SmartSolo autonomous geophone units. We report on the ownership, governance structure, equipment, and project management, which is essential background information to access the instrument pool by the community.
