References to EarthScope related data, data products, and tools are provided to further support the scientific community and those with an interest in measurement data from more than one thousand instruments located across North America. The freely available, high precision data can be viewed as the most important legacy of the National Science Foundation's largest investment in solid-Earth Science.

EarthScope Data Portal

The EarthScope Data Portal is now available online! The data portal provides an additional means for students, researchers and others interested in scientific data to simultaneously explore EarthScope's various instrument networks, as well as seamlessly download data from multiple stations and instrument types. The intuitive Google Maps-based user interface provides a familiar means to filter stations by geography, data class, or station identifier. Additional temporal and spatial filters give users the ability to further refine their searches as needed.

Developed in cooperation with San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), Incorporated Research Institution for Seismology (IRIS), University NAVSTAR Consortium (UNAVCO) and International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), this release culminates more than a year of dedicated effort from numerous individuals who deserve the gratitude of the scientific community.

Seismic Data

Image of EarthScope Display and Navigation to Workshops page

Seismic data holdings pertaining to all components of USArray, SAFOD, and PBO can be found at the IRIS Data Management Center (DMC). Near real-time data holdings are also available from the online data cache, or Buffer of Uniform Data (BUD), prior to formal archiving. Near-real-time seismic data from SAFOD are available via an online cache, Data Available in Real Time (DART), prior to official archiving. In addition, the NCEDC maintains a separate multi-terabyte online copy of recent continuous high sample rate for researchers interested in exploring this unique data set.

GPS Data

Data holdings from the GPS Seamless Archive Center (GSAC) are available through an online interactive query-building process. Processed GPS products are produced by Analysis Centers at Central Washington University and the University of California, Berkeley and the Analysis Center Coordinator at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. All these products, and the raw data from which they are derived, are stored at the UNAVCO Facility GPS archive. The raw data and higher-level data products are documented and available from the PBO GPS Products web page.

Strainmeter Data

Processed Borehole Strainmeter data products are produced by UNAVCO's Borehole Strainmeter Analysis Center in Socorro, New Mexico, while Laser Strainmeter products are produced at the University of California, San Diego. These products include cleaned and scaled strain time series, correction series, and ancillary information. All the products, and the raw data from which they are derived, are archived at the Northern California Earthquake Data Center and at a backup archive at the IRIS Data Management Center.

SAFOD Data

Data holdings from the SAFOD Project can be accessed on the Intercontinental Drilling Program (ICDP) and the Northern California Earthquake Data Center (NCEDC) websites. The data consist mainly of cutting and mud sample reports, core boxes, core logging, and lithological reports updated daily.

EarthScope Airborne LiDAR Imagery

5,788 km2 of high-resolution airborne LiDAR imagery was acquired as part of GeoEarthScope, a component of the EarthScope Facility construction project funded by the National Science Foundation. Targets were identified by the GeoEarthScope LiDAR Working Group and consisted in most cases of 1~2 km wide corridors centered along active faults. LiDAR acquisitions were planned and conducted based on EarthScope community recommendations so as to provide the community with a rich, high-quality data set capable of supporting a wide range of interests and applications. EarthScope LiDAR data products in various formats are available from the Open Topography Portal. Currently available GeoEarthScope datasets include acquisitions from Northern California, Southern California, and the Intermountain Seismic Belt.

EarthScope Satellite InSAR Imagery

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery was acquired as part of the GeoEarthScope project. Guided by the GeoEarthScope InSAR Working Group, more than 17 terabytes of data suitable for interferometric analyses were purchased from the European Space Agency (ESA) and ordered from NASA via the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF). Included were data from ESA's ENVISAT, ERS-1 and ERS-2 missions as well as the Canadian Space Agency's RADARSAT-1 mission. In addition to ordering data from existing ESA and NASA archives, UNAVCO tasked the ESA ENVISAT satellite to acquire new SAR data for EarthScope regions of interest for every orbit from October 2007 through September 2008. The UNAVCO Facility Data Group developed and implemented the essential infrastructure and software needed to archive the GeoES data and to support community access to this rich dataset. EarthScope InSAR data products are available from the UNAVCO Facility.
