Description:

The COSMOS Mission is to expand and modernize significantly the acquisition and application of strong-motion data in order to increase public safety from earthquakes. Its objectives are:

  • Develop national policies and foster innovative ideas for the urgent improvement of strong-motion earthquake measurements and their applications.
  • Promote the advancement of strong-motion measurement on the ground and in structures and lifelines in densely urbanized areas and other locations of special significance to society likely to be struck by future earthquakes.
  • Encourage and assist the rapid, convenient, and responsive distribution of strong ground-motion data according to standards of the Consortium.
  • Serve as a consortium through which programs, institutions, and engineers can work to solve mutual problems with recording instruments of all appropriate types, data formatting and dissemination, and data utilization.
  • Improve user influence on data acquisition and multipurpose data dissemination processes.
