The membership of the FDSN is truly global and not dominated by any one country or group. Members come from all continents. Most members of the FDSN operate stations that are confined to their national boundaries but several FDSN members operate stations well outside their borders.

FDSN Membership Map

FDSN Membership includes 65 institutions in 52 countries.

Membership in the FDSN is open to all groups that operate more than one broad-band station. Members agree to coordinate station siting and provide free and open access to their data (normally in SEED format). There is no charge for FDSN membership. Please keep your contact information up-to-date using the FDSN Member Information Form.

The IRIS Data Management Center in Seattle Washington is a repository for data generated by stations of the FDSN. Members are encouraged to submit data in SEED format to the DMC but it is not mandatory. 
The following is a list of FDSN members - those with a are currently supplying data to the FDSN archive. Clicking on the will take you to the FDSN Station Book list for that network (if available). Please note - not all networks available are listed below. Please see the FDSN Station Book Introduction for a more complete listing.
