David W. Simpson & Ray Willemann The IRIS Consortium Facilitating Free and Open Exchange of Seismological Data IRIS is a consortium of 105 US universities that are also affiliated with other seismological research insititutions in the US and around the world. The US National Science Foundation funds IRIS to offer services for seismology.

Enduring Reasons Why Seismology Facilitates International Collaboration International data exchange is essential to earthquake studies, and has been for more than 100 years. IRIS has been instrumental in expanding this spirit of data exchange into the modern era of digital technology. In common with other geoscientists, seismologists are compelled to collaborate with local scientists in “place-based” experiments around the globe. Seismology is of vital interest to developing nations for assessing and mitigating earthquake hazards. Training and capacity building, to build support and local expertise, are essential to long-term success.

Longstanding International Activities The Global Seismographic Network

Longstanding International Activities Experiments Around the World

Longstanding International Activities Archive for FDSN and Many Other Networks IRIS had a lead role in promulgating use of the “Standard for Exchange of Earthquake Data” and freely shares its software for processing data in SEED format. The IRIS Data Management Center archives data from backbone stations of networks join the International Federation of Digital Seimograph Networks The IRIS DMC archives data for numerous seismographic networks around the world – providing the operators secure, flexible access to their own data.

After the December 2004 Sumatra earthquake and tsunami, developing nations recognize shortcomings of existing monitoring and warning systems. The UNDP, the World Bank, and other development organizations now recognize that natural disasters systematically and severely setback their projects. At three Earth Observation Summits, national governments have committed themselves to seeking societal benefits through GEOSS. Wider Recognition of Societal Benefits from International Collaboration in Seismology

Growing Number of IRIS Foreign Affiliates – Now More Than Sixty New Foreign Affiliates during 2006 China Earthquake Networks Center, CEASultan Qaboos Univ. (Oman) Institute of Earthquake Science, CEAOulu Univ. (Finland) Council for Geoscience (South Africa)Univ. of Bucharest (Romania) Meteorological Res. Inst., KMA (Korea)Univ. of the West Indies AWE Blacknest (Great Britain)Royal Observatory of Belgium King Fahd Univ. (Saudi Arabia)Geological Survey of Denmark Indian Inst. of Technology, KharagpurCERESIS (Peru)

The IRIS Mission Facilitate and conduct geophysical investigation of seismic sources and Earth properties using seismic and other geophysical methods. Promote exchange of geophysical data and knowledge, both through use of standards for network operations, data formats and exchange protocols, and through pursuing policies of free and unrestricted data access. Foster cooperation among IRIS Members, Affiliates, and other organizations in order to advance geophysical research and convey benefits from geophysical progress to all of humanity.

IRIS Training Run regional workshops in network data management. Develop a training roster and materials for network building. Create an illustrated guide on seismic network requirements. Run “schools” at IRIS facilities.
