Director's Report: 2022 (pdf)

Despite certain irregularities with the membership subscriptions and grants, it was another productive year thanks to the support of 72 Member-Institutions and 7 Project Sponsors.

Publication of the Reviewed Bulletin continued at 24 months behind real time. The data for seismic events during 2020-2022 have been added to the ISC Bulletin, thanks to contributions from 154 agencies worldwide. In addition, the ISC continued using openly available waveforms to constrain earthquake depths based on in-house depth phase picking and probabilistic point source model determinations. Smaller continental earthquakes during the 1976-2018 period and earthquakes in 2019 have been added to the ISC-GEM catalogue. The ISC-EHB dataset and corresponding subduction zone cross-sections as well as the IASPEI GT List have all been extended to include the 2019 data year. We continued publication of scientific articles explaining the nature of the ISC data.

Both the ISC product download statistics and the large number of scientific research articles indicate extensive worldwide use of ISC data.
