[SSS12-02] Rebuilding the ISC Bulletin
Keywords:seismicity, global, bulletin, homogeneity, long-term
The Bulletin of the International Seismological Centre (ISC) serves as the definitive summary of global instrumentally recorded seismicity. The Bulletin is used in a wide range of studies in Geosciences. The unique features of the Bulletin include long-term coverage, homogeneity and the most comprehensive set of included seismic parametric data from the majority of permanent seismic networks at any given time.
To preserve the data homogeneity, the ISC has followed its own standard procedures that have not substantially changed until the early 2000s. Recent advancements in the ISC data collection and seismic event location have brought up a need to rebuild the data for earlier years in line with the new procedures. Thus was set up a project to rebuild the ISC Bulletin for all years up to the end of 2010.
In this presentation we describe the work under the Rebuild project and announce the release of the first portion of rebuilt ISC Bulletin for the period 1964-1979.
