The Centre for Earthquake Studies (CES) (Urdu: دانشگاہ برائے تحقیق و مطالعہِ زلزالیات) is a federally funded research institute and national laboratory dedicated to the advancement in understanding of natural vibration, seismology, and yield-based energy measurement of seismic waves.
[2] The national site was founded by the Government of Pakistan on the advice of the science adviser Dr. Ishfaq Ahmad.
[4] Initially created as the Earthquake Studies Department at the National Centre for Physics, it gained independence shortly after its establishment.
The CES undertakes research studies in the development of expertise in anomalous geophysical phenomenon prior to seismic activity.
The CES primarily produces its research outcomes by using computer simulation and mathematical modelling to interpret seismic activity and give earthquake predictions.
