Organizational announcements and stories about our work and the science we support.
Learn how to create publication-quality maps and visualize geophysical data with the new Introduction to Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) for Geophysics self-paced course.
EarthScope Data Services is migrating NSF's NGF Seismology data products to the AWS cloud as part of our strategic initiative to modernize the data and metadata access capabilities of NSF's National Geophysical Facility (NSF NGF) in the cloud.
The PH5 web service tools and the Seattle-based PH5 archiving systems will be decommissioned on September 1, 2026 while the PH5 datasets are being transformed and migrated to the NSF NGF SEED archive.
Both irisws-resp and irisws-sacpz are now integrated into the new FDSN station service. As a result, we are retiring these features as independent services.
Legacy web services irisws-traveltime and irisws-distaz that offer seismic travel-time and distance-azimuth calculations will soon be retired.
Network operators will have a new way to submit StationXML metadata to the EarthScope-operated NSF National Geophysical Facility. This approach uses a new Dropoff System now currently in use for miniSEED submission.
A necessary scheduled maintenance window to upgrade capabilities of deployed seismic services in the NSF NGF cloud system will result in a short service disruption on Tuesday, August 25.
These web services are moving from service.iris.edu to service.earthscope.org as part of our cloud transition.
Less than a month after we opened GeoLab to all users, the platform supported 98 participants in a three-day virtual technical short course hosted by the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center.
Our mars-event web service, a primary source of computed seismic event solutions recorded on Mars (courtesy of ETH, Zurich), is moving as part of our cloud transition.
Our timeseriesplot web service, the primary source of graphical representations of channel level seismic data, is moving as part of our cloud transition.
This is one of the final steps in a multi-year effort to move EarthScope's seismic data archiving — nearly 40 years' worth, hosted at the University of Washington — into the AWS cloud.
