This free Arrays workshop immediately follows the EarthScope National Meeting. It will focus on the principles and current state of array seismology and explore the potential for establishing an internationally supported facility of broadband seismographic arrays.
Two recent stories, published by different New Mexico-based papers, highlight the work conducted both globally and locally by staff of the IRIS PASSCAL Instrument Center.
An extensive network of stations with seismometers and air pressure sensors detected the blast waves from the terminal burst of the meteoroid near Chelyabinsk as these waves crossed the US on Friday morning, February 15, 2013.
The February issue of EXPLORER, a publication of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, summarizes the goals and accomplishments of USArray.
IRIS has created a special web page for this event that provides direct links to and images of data and materials available from IRIS programs and preliminary research results from the seismology community.
The workshop “New Frontiers in Geophysical Research: Bringing New Tools and Techniques to Bear on Earthquake Hazard Analysis and Mitigation” will be held during July in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Researchers at the University of New Mexico and New Mexico Tech investigate how seismology can address fluvial transport of water and sediment to better understand how landscapes evolve and how to best manage water resources.
The seismic and geodetic Polar communities have worked with IRIS and UNAVCO to provide a plan for the growth, development, management and governance of Polar support services for the NSF facilities. This plan is now complete and available for download.
IRIS generated a movie using data recorded at seismic stations that shows changes in ground motion and atmospheric pressure as Hurricane Sandy batters the East Coast.
This short course will introduce users to a variety of modern methods developed by IRIS to access information at the DMC. It will also provide a forum for members of the IRIS community to ask questions about Data Services provided by IRIS.

A three-man team from the EarthScope Transportable Array and IRIS/PASSCAL installed a prototype seismic station in the Yukon Territory, Canada, just 30km south of the Arctic Circle.
Several well respected science organizations have issued statements following the manslaughter conviction of six Italian scientists and a government official in connection with the tragic 2009 L’Aquila earthquake.
This workshop will introduce Principal Investigators and archivers to the PASSCAL data group, the support they provide, and the software utilized in the archival process. The workshop application deadline is Wednesday, October 31.
