USGS Global Seismographic Network (GSN): Data and Seismic Metadata

The Global Seismographic Network (GSN) is a permanent digital network of state-of-the-art seismological and geophysical sensors connected by a telecommunications network, serving as a multi-use scientific facility and societal resource for monitoring, research, and education. Formed in partnership among the USGS, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), the GSN provides near-uniform, worldwide monitoring of the Earth, with over 150 modern seismic stations distributed globally. This entry focuses exclusively on the GSN stations are operated by the USGS Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory (USGS GSN). It does not include any stations operated by the IDA group at UC San Dieg or other affiliate organizations.

全球地震台网（Global Seismographic Network，GSN）是一套由电信网络互联的顶尖地震学与地球物理传感器组成的永久性数字台网，兼具多用途科学设施与社会资源属性，可用于地震监测、科学研究与科普教育。该台网由美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey，USGS）、美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF）以及国际地震学联合研究机构（Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology，IRIS）合作组建，可实现全球范围内近乎均匀的地球监测，在全球范围内布设了超过150座现代化地震台站。本条目仅聚焦由美国地质调查局阿尔伯克基地震实验室运营的全球地震台网台站（USGS GSN），未纳入加州大学圣地亚哥分校（University of California, San Diego，UC San Diego）IDA工作组及其他附属机构运营的台站。
