This award provides logistics-only support for the installation, maintenance and operation of IRIS seismic equipment at Amundsen- Scott Station, South Pole, Antarctica. The Incorporated Research Institution for Seismology (IRIS) is a consortium of research institutions created to implement critically needed national facilities for support of seismological research on the Earth's interior in the coming quarter century. IRIS has a membership of 57 universities and includes nearly all U.S. universities with seismological research programs. IRIS has developed a 10 year plan for the implementation of a Global Seismographic Network (GSN) of about 100 broadband, digital, wide dynamic range stations, with data transmitted via satellite in a broadcast mode whereby any site on earth can access the complete global data set, if desired, in real time. The installation of a state-of-the-art, broad-band, digital seismic observation for the South Pole is part of an effort by the National Science Foundation to improve seismic instrumentation globally. A modern seismic station at the South Pole will provide a crucial link in the global seismic network and is essential for seismic studies of the Antarctic continent.

该合同为位于南极洲南极的阿蒙森-斯科特站的IRIS地震设备的安装、维护和运行提供后勤支持。地震学联合研究机构（IRIS）是一个由研究机构组成的联盟，旨在实施急需的国家设施，以支持未来25年地球内部的地震学研究。IRIS拥有57所大学的会员，包括几乎所有拥有地震学研究项目的美国大学。IRIS已制定了一项10年计划，以实施一个由约100个宽带、数字、宽动态范围台站组成的全球地震台网（GSN），并通过卫星以广播方式传输数据，使地球上的任何地点都可以在需要时实时访问完整的全球数据集。为南极安装最先进的宽带数字地震观测站是美国国家科学基金会改善全球地震仪器的努力的一部分。在南极建立一个现代化的地震台站将为全球地震台网提供一个至关重要的环节，对南极大陆的地震研究至关重要。
