| description | <p>International cooperation in seismology emerged rapidly at the beginning of
the 20th century following the successful recording of earthquakes at great
distances. The International Seismological Association (ISA) founded in 1904
was dissolved in 1922 and evolved into the Seismology Section of the
International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), ultimately becoming the
International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior
(IASPEI) to recognize the important role of the structure and physical
properties of the Earth. Through the last hundred years, the commissions and
working groups of the association have played a major role in setting
international standards in such areas as the naming of seismic phases, data
exchanges, travel-time tables, magnitude scales, and reference Earth models.
The activities of IASPEI continue to have a focus on the societal impacts of
earthquakes and tsunamis, with four regional commissions playing a major role
in promoting high standards of seismological education, outreach, and
international scientific cooperation.</p> |
