My work as a researcher and educator greatly benefits from the infrastructure and culture of the IRIS community. I engage in observational seismology using archived data from long-term observatories, temporary community-driven projects such as the Transportable Array, and new portable array data collected by collaborators and the research group that I lead. These experiences give me an applied perspective on multiple modes of operation for modern seismologists, including what capabilities currently help us thrive and what barriers we should try to mitigate to set the stage for future advances. As a student, postdoc, and faculty member I have experienced IRIS as a world-class community-governed organization that is collegial, ambitious, and responsive to feedback. Planning for the upcoming merger of IRIS and UNAVCO is an opportunity to build upon the best attributes of both communities and bolster the mechanisms that will allow us to successfully adapt to future community needs. I would be honored to help with the work involved in this important transition.
