  1. Infrasound Workshop IRIS — History, Structure and Resources Rhett Butler Global Seismographic Network

  2. the IRIS Consortium V a Consortium National Focus for research in seismology Forum for communication Setting of community priorities Development of community resources International cooperation Va Facility Core Programs - GSN, PASSCAL, DMS, and E&O NSF Cooperative Agreement V a Corporation Administrative, fiscal, and legal structure

  3. Data Management System Data Management Center (12 FTE’s - IRIS staff) Subawards to UW, Harvard Global Seismographic Network Major Subaward to IDA, UCSD (9 FTE’s) MOU for coordination with USGS Albuquerque Seismic Laboratory PASSCAL (Program for Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere) Major subaward for PASSCAL Instrument Center at New Mexico Tech (12 FTE’s) Education and Outreach University Subawards Collaboration with DLESE, SCEC and others Program Implementation

  4. Science - Facility Interactions NSF reviews and defines scientific programs IRIS provides facilities to support science NSF monitors IRIS plans and implementation IRIS works with NSF and the research community to set priorities for facility development explore new research areas Science and Facilities

  8. IRIS Funding History

  9. IRISThe Formative Years pre 1983 - numerous Academy reports 1983 NAS COSEPUP Initiatives La Jolla, SSA and Carnegie Workshops ARIES (global seismology) Resolution to incorporate 1984 GSN Science Plan ARIES renamed IRIS Madison (PASSCAL) Workshop May 8, IRIS incorporated with 26 founding members PASSCAL Science Plan July - 10 year “Rainbow” proposal submitted to NSF Letter of Agreement with NSF 1985 Planning grant from NSF July - President appointed October - Rosslyn office opened

  10. The Development Years – 1986-1991 Instrument Specification and Development IRIS - USGS and UCSD PASSCAL - PASSCAL bus and developmental RFP DMS - Science Plan PASSCAL - field studies “experiment” 1998 -PASSCAL instruments and instrument center GSN - upgrade of existing stations design study international FDSN involvement DMS -1986 - interim DMC IRIS staff of ~10 Budget of ~$2M-$5M/year

  11. The Implementation Years – 1991-1996 Expansion GSN to 100 stations PASSCAL to 600 instruments DMS to 2 terabytes JSP – Russian Cooperative Program Nuclear monitoring Special funding opportunity IRIS staff of 20 (10 Management, 10 at DMC) Budget of ~$7.5M/year NSF, ~9M/year DOD

  12. Stability and Growth – 1996 - 2003 Stable Core Program Operations Program Expansions Education and Outreach Geophysical Observatories Telemetry Networked Data Centers Ocean Bottom Observatories Software Development Expanded funding base DoE USGS GSN support EarthScope

  13. GSN • $100M Facility since 1986 • Global Infrastructure and International Partnerships • Two Network Operators • USGS Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory • University of California at San Diego • Multi-Use Scientific Facility Funded by US National Science Foundation and US Geological Survey

  14. 15% 75% 10%

  15. Infrastructure & Partnerships • US National Seismic Network • GSN Houston Hub • Africa • South America • GSN Russian Internet • Russian National Seismic Network • International GPS Service • China Network • GSN Pacific Hub • National Weather Service / Tsunami Warning • IMS/GCI Sharing • Internet contributed by many countries and institutions

  16. 51 GSN Sites are designated IMS Auxiliary Stations

  17. GCI Shared Sites San Juan, Puerto Rico Lusaka, Zambia

  18. Tsunami Warning • Real-time GSN Data Critical for Advanced Warning • Internet Used • Direct Access to Data at Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Oahu, Hawaii

  19. GSN Telemetry Sharing with National Weather Service Pitcairn Island VSAT GSN Pacific Hub at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center
