COSMOS Virtual Data Centers


Strong-Motion Virtual Data Center (SMVDC) - [view site]
COSMOS Virtual Data Center, is an unrestricted web portal to strong ground motion records and features:

• Records from the United States and 14 contributing countries for use by the engineering and scientific communities

• 515 earthquakes. 3108 stations, and 26,563 accelerogram traces

• Flexible, full range of search methods, including map-based , parameter-entry, and earthquake- and station-based searches

• Display and download options allow users to view data in multiple contexts, extract and download data parameters, and download data files in convenient formats

• COSMOS VDC is supported by funds from the California Geological Survey (CGS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF)

Geotechnical Virtual Data Center (GVDC)
The overall project is divided into a short-term objective: to develop a pilot web-based system linking the PG&E Caltrans, CGS, and USGS example geotechnical data sets. The proposed long-term objective would be to extend the pilot system and develop a web-based system linking multiple data sets.
