Committee Charge
The USArray Advisory Committee is charged with providing advice to the IRIS Board of Directors and IRIS President on the performance of the USArray component of EarthScope. The Committee will monitor the development and operations of the USArray facility, and review the contributions of IRIS core programs (DMS, E&O, GSN, and PASSCAL) to the successful implementation of USArray and the science goals of EarthScope. The Committee is neither a science planning nor operations committee, but should review USArray operations in the context of the science framework for USArray and EarthScope.
The Committee will meet as needed, but no less than twice per year, and will provide semi-annual written reports to the IRIS President and Board of Directors. Reports and recommendations will also be provided to the EarthScope Facility Executive Committee and Project Director. Additionally, the Committee may be charged with reviewing special topics and questions requiring prompt action.
Members of the Committee are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve renewable two-year terms.
