Program areas at Earthscope Consortium
Instrumentation services include both the maintenance of continuous networks and pools of instruments for use in individual projects.. The global seismographic network (gsn) is a 152 station, globally distributed, state-of-the-art digital seismic network that provides free, realtime, open access to data. . The Earthscope primary instrument center at new mexico tech supports cutting-edge research into earth's fundamental geological structure and processes. The facility provides instrumentation and support services for national science foundation, department of energy, and otherwise funded experiments around the world.. The network of the americas (nota) is an international geophysics sensor network spanning more than 20 countries and composed of more than 1,200 continuously operating instruments, including high-precision gps (and multi-constellation gnss) stations and borehole strain, seismic, and tilt instruments. . Earthscope polar services installs, maintains, and operates several instrumentation networks including the polar earth observing network (polenet) in antarctica (anet) and greenland (gnet), larsen ice shelf system, antarctica (larissa), and other networked stations in both the arctic and antarctic.
Education and community engagement: the Earthscope engagement program is committed to advancing awareness and understanding of seismology and geophysics while inspiring careers in the earth sciences. . The engagement group provides education, workforce development, and outreach through a variety of resources and activities and collaborates with scientific and educational partners to prepare the next generation of earth science students.. educational opportunities strengthen professional skills through short courses, online resources, networking opportunities, skill building workshops, and mentoring and internship programs.
Data services (ds) ingests, curates and distributes geophysical data to the global earth science community. This includes ground motion, atmospheric, infrasonic, magnetotelluric, strain, hydrological and hydroacoustic data. . Earthscope promotes research by providing access to data that the community of geodetic scientists uses for quantifying the motions of rock, ice and water that are monitored by a variety of sensor types at or near the earth's surface.. Earthscope maintains and provides access to high-performance computing resources and cyberinfrastructure for research and educational applications. . Earthscope develops, curates, and distributes software for research and educational purposes.
