Abstract:
Over the last century, many of the fundamental advances in our understanding of the solid Earth have been underpinned by seismic observations recorded on long‐running networks of globally distributed seismic instruments (e.g., Agnew et al., 1976; Romanowicz et al., 1984; Hanka and Kind, 1994; Peterson and Hutt, 2014; Ringler et al., 2022a). During this time, seismic data quality and the speed of dissemination have improved substantially from early analog paper records to digital, very broadband data transmitted in near‐real time (Steim, 2015) and rapidly archived in online data repositories with associated metadata (e.g., Ahern, 2003; Suarez et al., 2008). With these significant advances in data quality, dissemination, and storage, global seismic networks are poised to continue to aid in answering key scientific questions about the Earth.
