Among the research goals are the quantitative study of sources of earthquakes above magnitude 3.0 up to the greatest earthquakes in the entire United States, a capability never before possible; more reliable understanding and prediction of strong ground shaking; the precise definition of fine structure in the earth's crust and deep interior using high-resolution techniques; and the close mapping of regional tectonics, related to geological hazards, and location of natural resources. In particular, there is a need to monitor and analyze quickly short-term stress variations in active fault zones for earthquake prediction purposes, a high national priority.

The second is the decisive advance in theoretical seismology, including powerful computational ability, that has created a need for high-quality observations of seismic waves, with wide dynamic ranges in both frequency and amplitude. For the attainment of research and applied goals, data analysis, archiving, and retrieval capabilities in the United States need streamlining, partly centralizing, so that digital tapes, seismograms, and the derived seismicity data from all stations are available in a short time to all users.
