Committee Charge
The GSN Standing Committee develops policies to facilitate a timely and successful installation of the Global Seismographic Network, and the rapid dissemination of the data collected by the GSN.
- Set standards for GSN instrumentation and data collection.
- Develop and maintain a siting plan that ensures the timely deployment of GSN instruments and accounts for the contributions of other "equivalent" networks in maximizing the global coverage afforded by the GSN.
- Set standards/policies to ensure the timely flow of data from GSN stations to the DCC's.
- Develop and evaluate strategies for the successful procurement and installation of GSN equipment so as to complete the global seismographic network by 2002 (128 "goal" stations).
- Cooperate with the USGS, the Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN) and, other groups interested in establishing digital stations for global studies, to establish a well-distributed network in an expeditious manner.
- Develop plans for the long-term maintenance of the GSN.
- Coordinate with the Ocean Seismic Network Steering Commmittee to facilitate the deployment of ocean bottom stations, so as to reach the GSN goal of uniform global coverage.
- Develop new initiatives to enhance the effectiveness of the GSN.
- Advise the Program Manager and the IRIS President on program planning and yearly budgets.
