Description:

IRIS ingests, curates, and distributes geoscience dataIRIS provides management of, and access to, observedand derived data for the global earth science community.This includes ground motion, atmospheric, infrasonic,hydrological, and hydroacoustic data.IRIS provides a wide range of education and outreach resourcesOur mission is to advance awareness and understanding of seismologyand earth science while inspiring careers in geophysics.IRIS operates many prominent geophysical facilitiesIRIS staff and subawardees oversee the construction,operation, and maintenance of seismic networksand related data facilities utilizedby a wide sector of the earth science community.IRIS consists of three directorates:Instrumentation Services (IS),Data Services (DS), andEducation Public Outreach (EPO).Each directorate consists of various programs listed to the right.IRIS has multiple online tools that allow youto learn about global and regional seismicity.Information about the IRIS organization and for IRIS Consortium membersIRIS is a consortium of over 120 US universities dedicatedto the operation of science facilities for the acquisition,management, and distribution of seismological data.IRIS is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization incorporatedin the state of Delaware with its primary headquarters officelocated in Washington, DC. IRIS is governed according to By-laws.IRIS offers a variety of resources for theseismological community and general publicincluding online interactive materials,regular newsletters, brochures,webinars, past event materials. We also offerdigital copies of our proposals and reviewsfor download.IRIS Statement on Racism in GeoscienceWe at IRIS join our colleagues from across the country and around the globe in unequivocally denouncing racism. BLACK LIVES MATTER. We also know that racism is persistent in STEM and that there are systemic inequalities in academia and particularly in the geosciences. Continue Reading Reduction in seismic noise because of changes in human activityResearchers who study Earth’s movement are seeing a drop in seismic noise as a result of transport networks and other human activities being shut down.

Continue Reading Marine Seismology SymposiumMaritime Conference Center, Linthicum Heights,Maryland,NEW ANIMATION! Bomb or Earthquake? How do seismologists tell the difference between an explosion and an earthquake, when both shake the ground? Find out in this new animation!New Animation! Cascades Subduction Zone—What can the landscape tell us? This animation describes the geographic provinces of the Pacific Northwest, including the subducting plate, the subduction boundary, the Coast Range, the lowlands, and the Cascades mountain range.Tearing an arc apart—insights from the northern Taupo Volcanic ZoneResearchers used seismic waves in the Bay of Plenty to create detailed images of the crust and mantle spanning the underwater northern section of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. By peering into the subsurface, they found evidence of a positive feedback relationship between magmatic intrusion and crustal extension.Distant quakes trigger undersea landslides in Gulf of MexicoMassive submarine landslides are often shaken loose if a large earthquake strikes nearby. However, triggers for smaller landslides are poorly understood. In a recent paper Dr. Wenyuan Fan and his colleagues, discovered 85 previously unknown submarine landslides in the Gulf of Mexico by analyzing 8 years of seismic data and extracting characteristic seismic signals of continental slope careening downhill.Peeking at the Plumbing of One of the Aleutian’s Most Active VolcanoesA new approach to analyzing earthquake data revealed an impressive level of detail in the deep plumbing system underlying Alaska’s Cleveland volcano.
