IRIS has been vital to my career, as almost all practicing seismologists can claim. My initial work and ongoing interest in global tomography have relied almost entirely on the globally distributed, high quality data of the Global Seismic Network (GSN). This amazing resource owes its continuing valuable data to close collaboration between IRIS and the USGS. My students have analyzed structure on tectonic and local scales relying on data from Earthscope and field studies using PASSCAL instrumentation. Currently, I’m extremely excited to be closely involved in the NASA mission, InSight, which will be delivering seismic data (as well as other meteorological channels) from Mars to the Data Management System starting in late 2018 or early 2019, extending IRIS to the solar system. I’ve also served on the GSN standing committee, and seen how much IRIS relies on its community members to direct the services it provides and prepare for the future of the science. For all these reasons, I feel honored to be considered for membership in the Board of Directors in this vital time of transition.
