Who uses AuSIS data?

 

Data collected from the seismometers in schools is used by a wide variety of people, including government agencies who monitor earthquakes and researchers who study the internal structure of the earth. Data is now available to everyone through the AusPass data portal www.auspass.edu.au.

Earthquake monitoring agencies that use AuSIS data:

Geoscience Australia

Seismological Research Centre

Geological Survey of South Australia
