Abstract. The paper presents the results of investigations of deformation processes in the near-surface sedimentary rocks, which have been carried out in a seismically active region of the Kamchatka peninsula since 2007. The peculiarity of the experiments on registration of geodeformations is the application of a laser strainmeter-interferometer constructed according to the Michelson interferometer scheme. Besides rock deformations, geoacoustic emission in the frequency range from several hertz to the first tens of kilohertz is under investigation. Piezoceramic hydrophones installed in artificial water reservoirs are applied. It is shown that periods of primary rock compression and tension with a duration of up to several months are distinguished in the geodeformation process at the observation site. During the direction change in the deformations, when the geodeformation process rate grows, an increase in geoacoustic radiation is observed.

The first results of unique experiments on the synchronous registration of seismic-strain oscillations of the Earth’s surface by three laser interferometers-deformographs (strainmeters) spaced 6740 km apart are presented. Two 100-meter laser interferometers at the Fryazino site (Moscow Region) and the 18-meter laser strainmeter at the observation point of Karymshina (Kamchatka Peninsula) were applied. The frequency-stabilized and thermally controlled lasers and the interferogram registration systems of compensation and modulation types providing an absolute instrumental resolution of 0.1-0.01 nm were used. The results of data analysis in sessions of synchronous operation of these instruments during 2016-2020 were obtained and discussed.
