IRIS is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, that historically coordinated seismology research and facilitated data sharing among participating institutions. It merged with UNAVCO to form EarthScope Consortium, and the IRIS web page is no longer active. The merger results in EarthScope Consortium, a consolidated platform for seismology coordination. The organization operates within the non-profit geoscience sector, serving the seismology research community by coordinating activities and enabling access to shared data and resources. It is based in the Washington, DC area and described as a small to mid-sized nonprofit. A concrete recent development noted in 2024 is a partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey to integrate GPS sensors into the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system.
