GEOFON operates the GFZ Seismological Data Archive, which facilitates access to data from the GEOFON stations, from passive experiments of the Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam (GIPP) and those from plate boundary observatories (IPOC, GONAF, DESERVE, GCO), as well as form many partner networks/institutions providing a permanent and secure archive.. All waveform data and metadata are provided in standard seismological data formats using standard services alongside with additional meta information about the data, currently more than 100 seismic networks are distributed to thousands of users through the GFZ access point as well as form federated archives at European and Global level. GEOFON also takes care in data management policies fostering the adoption of the FAIR data management principles and the Guidelines for Research Data at GFZ.
