This was why he had taken the reconnaissance job with the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS). Barefoot in the twilight, Vincent filled with a sense of peace. He arrived just after sunset and waded out in the warm air and saltwater. In fact, Vincent kind of liked how Spiral Jetty was in the middle of nowhere. The winding drive up to the earthwork did not seem so ludicrous compared to some of the journeys he had made while hunting for remote, undisturbed locations to place the hundreds of other seismometers that constitute the EarthScope Transportable Array. Graylan Vincent visited Spiral Jetty one August evening in 2006 after finding a site for an earthquake sensor on a nearby ranch. It’s an 80 km drive west of Brigham City, Utah, and once you get there, the sculpture might not even be visible, depending on the seasonal rains. The site will soon host the new EarthScope Consortium website. See our Joining Forces website for more information.
As our science becomes more convergent, there is benefit toĮxamining how we can support research and education as a single organization to conduct and advanceĬutting-edge geophysics. Organization will be called EarthScope Consortium. To further advance geophysics support for the geophysics community, UNAVCO and IRIS are merging. Science it continues to enable, please view publications here: andĬitations of the Transportable Array network DOI 10.7914/SN/TA. Website is now in an archival state and will no longer be updated. Stations were transferred to other operators and continue to collect scientific observations. The USArray component of the NSF-funded EarthScope project ended its observational period in September 2021Īnd all remaining close-out tasks concluded in March 2022.
