Abstract
Geodynamic conditions in the territory of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic are characterized by a high variety of processes: seismic events of different classes, including swarms of weak earthquakes and the technogenic phenomena (chemical explosion), local geodynamic processes around the Elbrus volcanic center, and various exogenous processes, such as landslides, mud flows, and rock-ice slides. The possibilities of researching all these phenomena with use of a regional network of digital seismic stations are considered in the present article.
