In 2020, the seismic monitoring in Kazakhstan was conducted by two organizations: State En terprise “Seismological Experience-Methodical Expedition” of the Committee of Science of the Ministry of Edu cation and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Republican State Enterprise «Institute of Geophysical Research of the Republican State Enterprise “National Nuclear Centre” of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The paper presents detailed information on seismic observation networks. The joint catalogue based on the data of two organizations was compiled. It includes 503 earthquakes with energy classes KR=6.6 12.1. The strongest earthquake within the considered territory occurred on June 6, 2020, KR =12.1, MPVA=5.6, MS=4.4. Its epicenter was located within Dzhungar Alatayu ridge, 36 km south-eastward of Taldykorgan town. The earthquake was felt in Taldykorgan with intensity 4 by MSK-64 scale. On so-called “Northern Tien Shan” territory, 429 earthquakes with energy classes more than 6.6 were recorded. The reoccurrence graphs were con structed, seismic mode parameters were calculated, focal mechanisms for earthquakes KR≥9 and parameters of strong earthquakes records for 17 earthquakes were described. In 2020, seismic networks recorded 4416 mining explosions on the territory of Kazakhstan. Some induced earthquakes at the regions of liquid and solid mineral production were recorded.
