Community Facility Support: Partial Support of the International Seismological Centre

50多年来，ISC的数据提供了世界上最全面、最完整的地震记录。这是每年数百篇研究论文的主要数据来源。ISC数据几乎必不可少的研究类型包括研究构造和地球内部结构、地震灾害和减轻地震灾害、震源物理、地震预报和监测《全面禁止核试验条约》。ISC产品也是独特的、有价值的教育工具。随着美国地质勘探局等其他机构目前倾向于将工作重点放在快速确定上，最全面和准确的ISC数据的价值进一步增强。目标是在未来四年继续在国际地震中心(ISC)开展独特和高度重要的业务，目的是扩大、更新和扩大对地球地震活动的最明确的长期报告。这一方法是继续并进一步改进世界范围内的公报数据收集、再处理和分发系统，该系统基于ISC的非政府和国际地位，使其能够从全世界大约150个网络收集原始数据，包括许多其他方面无法获得的来源。因此，美国和国际研究界可以免费获得几种广泛使用的产品：ISC公告、地面真相清单、ISC-GEM目录、ISC-EHB公告和ISC事件书目。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

For over 50 years, the ISC data provided the most comprehensive and complete account of earthquakes worldwide. This is the principal data source for several hundred research papers each year. The types of studies for which the ISC data are virtually indispensable include research of tectonics and inner Earth structure, seismic hazard and mitigation of earthquake disasters, earthquake source physics, earthquake forecasting, and monitoring the Comprehensive nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The ISC products also serve as unique and valuable tools for education. With the current tendency of other agencies such as USGS to focus their efforts on rapid determinations, the value of the most comprehensive and accurate ISC data is further enhanced.The goal is to continue for the next four years with the unique and highly important operations at the International Seismological Centre (ISC) with the purpose of enlarging, updating and extending the most definitive long-term account of the Earth's seismicity. The method is to continue and further improve the worldwide bulletin data collection, re-processing and distribution system based on the non-governmental and international status of the ISC that allows to collect the original data from approximately 150 networks worldwide, including quite a few otherwise unavailable sources. As a result, several widely used products are made freely available to the US and international research community: the ISC Bulletin, the Ground Truth List, the ISC-GEM catalog, the ISC-EHB Bulletin and the ISC Event Bibliography.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
