Dishing the Dirt-to-Disk for In-Situ Geophysical Measurements

By Robert Casey, EarthScope Consortium

For the past 35 years, the joint efforts of NSF-funded Geodetic and Seismic data facilities has yielded a 50-year treasure trove of site-gathered ground motion measurements for open access to researchers. The process of collecting and processing this data to storage still has many of the same challenges today as it did decades ago, but widely available broadband and commoditization of sensitive technologies has enabled data collection to expand in speed and volume by two to three orders of magnitude with no signs of slowing down. This presentation will highlight the challenges of initial data collection from distributed installation sites, its preparation for archival processes, and the cataloging that makes this data easily available to researchers around the globe. A look at the future of geophysical measurements will also be presented and we will highlight what will be needed to meet the demands of the coming decade.

NSF CI Compass hosted the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) CI Compass virtual workshop "Data Management: From Instrument to First Storage" from January 22-24, 2025.
