The authors wish to thank the E&O Committee and the many other IRIS Consortium members who have helped with the development of the E&O program. A helpful review was provided by Gary Patterson; and the school seismograph map was produced by Michael Hamburger. Valuable interaction and support for the development of the E&O program have been provided by NSF and its program managers; the U.S. Geological Survey (particularly the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory); the Southern California Earthquake Center; Digital Libraries for Earth Science Education (DLESE); and Catherine Johnson; the IRIS E&O Program Manager from 1998-2001;

摘要
The IRIS program has made a strong commitment to bring high-quality educational materials related to seismology into schools and communities through its E&O activities. These educational opportunities are heightened by the presence of a number of major research initiatives that have the potential to advance significantly the visibility of state-of-the-art scientific research in our country. The possibilities are magnified by the presence of both new educational reform initiatives and new educational resources that can make these scientific data and scientific results available and relevant to the broader educational community. It is an exciting time for science education and outreach, and the IRIS E&O program is poised to expand over the next few years through close coordination with the activities of other scientific and educational organizations.
