The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) has facilitated a number of major seismology projects over the past 34 years. Examples include the Global Seismographic Network (GSN), the Portable Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere (PASSCAL), and more recently, the EarthScope USArray program. These efforts have been characterized by deep engagement of the seismological research community in the design, specifications and guidance of these projects; attention to generating high quality data; and open access to all data collected.
