Organizational announcements and stories about our work and the science we support.
We are migrating the archiving of miniSEED data in the NSF National Geophysical Facility repository from our legacy Seattle data center to a new cloud platform.
Our fdsnws-availability web service will be out of service for an undetermined period of time starting on July 27. We are working on a replacement system and will make it available as soon as possible.
Our PH5 web services will be migrating and retiring. The data and metadata previously served by these web services will be migrated to our FDSN web services.
Our fdsnws-station web service, the primary source of station metadata for our seismological repository, is moving from service.iris.edu to service.earthscope.org as part of our cloud transition.
We will be retiring the irisws-flinnengdahl web service as a part of our effort to refine the NSF NGF’s portfolio of data and metadata access capabilities in the cloud.
The SeedLink streaming service, providing access to real-time streams from seismological networks, is moving from rtserve.iris.washington.edu to rtserve.earthscope.org
Quality Assurance metrics for seismic data in our archive can be found via the MUSTANG suite of services.
We will be retiring the FDSN “event” web service as a part of our effort to refine the NSF National Geophysical Facility’s portfolio of data and metadata access capabilities in the cloud.
The NSF National Geophysical Facility's seismological repository is transitioning into the cloud, and data submitters and consumers should be aware of operational changes.
Our fdsnws-dataselect web service, the primary source of miniSEED data from our seismological repository, has moved as part of our cloud transition.
On June 16, 2025, the MUSTANG seismic quality assurance web services were upgraded to serve out metric values from Amazon Web Services (AWS).
We regret to inform you that the irisFetch Matlab-based client is not compatible with recently released Matlab versions 2023a and onward.
