Many of the data. IRIS programs contribute to scholarly research, education, earthquake hazard mitigation, and verification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.


More information'); return false">IRIS web forms use reCAPTCHA to prevent automated spam.  We are transitioning forms away from this tool, but you still may encounter them.

The reCAPTCHA key works with the iris.edu domain, but not with iris.washington.edu
Some outside links go the the old url which results in an error message.

Example Question:

I'm trying to download the new rdseed and don't see the two words.  I see the information about reCAPTCHA, and the message:  "This reCAPTCHA key isn't authorized for the given domain."

I went to reCaptcha website and downloaded recaptcha and am still confused.  I am computer challenged.  Is there anyway I can download rdseed?


Answer:

Do not use a form with a web address that starts with http://www.iris.washington.edu.  Only use a web address that begins with http://www.iris.edu.  This is what we have the reCaptcha form registered to.  Sometimes removing the 'washington' from the domain name works.

You may find that a note has been added on the webpage that redirects you to the working form
"If the captcha is not working, then click here. "

We use request forms such as these so that we may better understand the popularity of certain tools and what kinds of platforms our users install them on.
