AQMS is the real-time and post-processing wrapper around the Earthworm automated earthquake detection system that is in use by the majority of Regional Seismic Networks in the United States as well as the volcano observatories. AQMS is written in C++ and Java and uses an Oracle database for persisting data. AQMS provides archiving and processing of earthquakes from Earthworm by analysts, alarming of automated and manually reviewed events, as well as a web-interface and Java-based analyst tool, Jiggle. ISTI is one of the original authors of this Open Source earthquake processing system and the only commercial supplier of installation and support services.

Earthworm (v7.9 as of Nov 11, 2016) is an Open Source (not to be confused with Open Architecture) software system that is used globally for regional and local network seismology. It has been around since the early 1990s and is used by over 180+ organizations world-wide for monitoring earthquakes and volcanoes.

EZ EarthWorm, EZW, is ISTI’s exclusive EarthWorm package designed to make earthquake monitoring easy. Do you ever wish you had a web-interface to Earthworm? Well EZW is the answer to your wish. ISTI has over 15 years working with Earthworm and we have poured our heart and soul into our new web-based EZW product.

ISTI is collaborating with the California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN, cisn.org) to develop a next-generation earthquake notification system that will alert users, in near real-time, of seismic data as well as vital earthquake hazard information following a significant event. Primary users will include emergency operations centers, utility companies and media outlets.

ISTI has been developing new modules and modifying existing modules for the open-source version of SeisComP since 2014.

SeisNetWatch allows seismic network operators to monitor and manage the State of Health (SOH) of their networks or other networks distributed across the Internet. If you are worried about monitoring data quality and data flow, then SeisNetWatch is the tool for you! This technology, while designed for seismic networks, is easily customizable to your network’s hardware and SCADA systems.

ShakeMap is an open source tool developed by the USGS for creating and displaying maps of strong-ground motion in near-real time, including peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), macroseismic intensity (MMI), and peak response spectral acceleration amplitudes (at 0.3, 1.0 and 3.0 sec periods).
