Organizational announcements and stories about our work and the science we support.
As part of our ongoing transition to modern, cloud-native infrastructure, we will be implementing limits on the volume of data and products that can be downloaded per hour and per day starting October 26.
Older PH5 experiments have been updated to resolve data inconsistencies, improve quality, and better align datasets with current PH5 standards.
As part of our ongoing transition to modern, cloud-native infrastructure that provides exceptional scalability and performance, we will require user authentication for all data and product downloads beginning December 15, 2026.
Our community’s access to the Seismic Analysis Code (SAC) is now being released as open source software as the SAC Community Edition.
