1. A system, comprising:
a first circuitry board comprising seismic sensor circuitry mounted to an insert configured to couple to a housing;
a second circuitry board coupled to the first circuitry board, the second circuitry board comprising overvoltage protection circuitry configured to arrest a first portion of energy associated with one or more overvoltage transients to a ground via a first pathway; and
a ground shield configured to:
couple to the housing and the second circuitry board; and
route a second portion of the energy different from the first portion of the energy to the ground via a second pathway.
