1 the IRIS Consortium Collaborative, Multi-user Facilities for Research and Education Briefing NSF Business Systems Review September 9, 2008

2 A facilities program for collection and distribution of seismological data for studies of: Earthquakes Earth Structure Earth Dynamics Facility Programs and Research Goals Agency Interactions & Mission Support USGS - earthquake monitoring NOAA - tsunami monitoring DoD - nuclear test monitoring Consortium Governance and Management

3 Topics for Tuesday, September 9, 2008 Overview of Business System Review Process Topics Participants Schedule Outcomes Overview of IRIS Consortium and Program Structure History Facility activities NSF- IRIS - Community interactions Website overview Next Steps Visit to Socorro - September 29? Who and What? Materials required from IRIS What and When? Timeline for Office Tour and Introductions

4 IRIS Mission Facilitate and conduct geophysical investigation of seismic sources and Earth properties using seismic and other geophysical methods. Promote exchange of geophysical data and knowledge, both through use of standards for network operations, data formats and exchange protocols, and through pursuing policies of free and unrestricted data access. Foster cooperation among IRIS Members, Affiliates, and other organizations in order to advance geophysical research and convey benefits from geophysical progress to all of humanity.

5 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology Governance and Management 109 Member Institutions 17 Educational Affiliates 90 Foreign Affiliates

6 the IRIS Consortium a Consortium National focus for research in seismology Forum for communication Setting of community priorities Development of community resources International cooperation a Facility Core Programs - GSN, PASSCAL, DMS, and E&O EarthScope/ USArray Under NSF Cooperative Agreements a Corporation Administrative, fiscal, and legal structure

9 IRIS Management

10 Global Seismographic Network Uniform global coverage in cooperation with US Geological Survey and partners in the international Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks

11 Global Seismographic Network Falkland Islands Station (EFI) 150 GSN stations in unattended locations worldwide including remote oceanic islands and polar regions previously inaccessible regions of China and the former Soviet Union Integration with national and regional networks in many developing nations

12 Global Seismographic Network IRIS-established standards for observatory instrumentation Broadband (3000 sec to 10 hz), high resolution (24 bit) Continuous recording Real time telemetry at most sites Free and open data access

13 Global Seismographic Network Supporting research on: Earthquake sources - uniform coverage at M=5; on scale for M=9+ Earth structure - whole Earth tomography Applications in earthquake and nuclear test monitoring

14 Great Earthquakes On scale recording of the M 9.3 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake of Dec 26, 2004 First detailed observations of a great tsunami generating earthquake Complex 500 second rupture of 1600km fault

15 Deep Earth Structure 3-dimensional Earth tomography from surface and body waves Structure of mantle heterogeneity, subduction zones and core-mantle boundary

16 Program for the Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere PASSCAL Instrument Center at New Mexico Tech, Socorro Field support, training and maintenance facilities

20 Data Management System IRIS Data Management Center Seattle Washington on-line access to complete 70 terabyte archive all data collected by IRIS programs (GSN, PASSCAL, USArray) contributed data from US national and international sources user tools provide easy web-based access to all data

21 Education and Outreach Intern Programs Museum Displays Distinguished Lecturers Classroom materials posters and one-pagers >20,000 copies distributed each year additional materials & activities available through the web

22 EarthScope / USArray Structure Evolution and Dynamics of the North American Continent NSF MREFC Project Construction Phase ~$200M USArray - seismology - IRIS Plate Boundary Observatory - geodesy - UNAVCO SAFOD - San Andreas Drilling - Stanford/USGS

23 EarthScope / USArray USArray Transportable Array 1600 sites in 10 years 400 station sub-arrays 200 installations per year

24 Mission Applications - Global Seismicity USGS NEIC - Global Seismicity 2007 ~900 real time stations used by NEIC operations IRIS, NSF and USGS Collaboration in GSN Capitalization and O&M IRIS, FDSN and USGS Open data exchange USGS and NOAA Operational responsibility

25 Mission Applications - Nuclear Test Monitoring and Research Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty International Monitoring System (IMS) US National Security DOD (AFTAC) IRIS/NSF, USGS, DOD and DOE Capitalization of GSN and PASSCAL Open GSN and PASSCAL data Applications in operation and research Restricted IMS data

26 IRIS Funding History NSF - EAR - Instrumentation and Facilities Primary stable core program funding NSF - MREFC and EAR EarthScope construction and operation NSF - MRI and Office of Polar Programs Polar instrumentation DOD/DOE - Capitalization of GSN and PASSCAL instrumentation Congressional special interest USGS Collaborative support for GSN operations

27 Science and Facilities A Partnership with NSF and the Research Community IRIS a non-profit, Consortium under Cooperative Agreement with NSF with Governance by its University members: implements facilities to support science Arm s length link between facilities and science 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 and evolution linked to new opportunities for research

28 NSF-IRIS Cooperative Agreement Important characteristics of a partnership in facility operation People, Ideas, Tools Flexibility Balance Stability Leverage Leadership Partnerships Science-driven facility evolution Science and Facilities Long-term investments in infrastructure 5-year Cooperative Agreements and review Annual plans and budgets Stable staffing Multi-use, multi-agency, multi-purpose IRIS core programs and special projects Community and intellectual drivers Science, observations and O&M National Agency (NSF, USGS, NOAA, DOE, DOD) Intramural - Consortium members International - FDSN, IMS, national systems Interdisciplinary - EarthScope, UNAVCO, SCEC

29 IRIS some reasons for success Planning Science Plan ---> Design Goals ---> Technical Specifications Flexibility and Responsiveness Feedback Community governance and participation Close interaction between research needs and facility growth Stability and Flexibility 5 year Cooperative Agreements Standards, Formats, Quality Control Adaptive to changing needs Competence Technical and managerial Staff Solid business and administrative practices

30 Some Lessons Learned Let Intellectual Drivers lead Set Standards and maintain Quality Provide free and open access to all data and services Differentiate between Facilities and Science Governance and Management Provide Competent and Responsive Management Business and legal structure Professional scientific and business staff Maintain Strong Communications and Feedback between Facilities and Science Governance and Management Community and Consortium Consortium and NSF Management and NSF
