Description
An analysis of the impact of seismic and volcanic activity has been
carried out at selected astronomical sites, namely the observatories of
El Teide (Tenerife, Canary Islands), Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma,
Canary Islands), Mauna Kea (Hawaii) and Paranal (Chile), and the
candidate site of Cerro Ventarrones (Chile). Hazard associated with
volcanic activity is low or negligible at all sites, whereas seismic
hazard is very high in Chile and Hawaii. The lowest geological hazard in
both seismic and volcanic activity is found at Roque de los Muchachos
observatory, on the island of La Palma.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
