The following links have been selected on the basis of their relevance to the interests of the IASPEI community. The emphasis is on international organizations, projects, and data centers of regional or international scope in the area of solid earth geophysics. Every attempt has been made to ensure that the URLs are accurate, but we welcome corrections. We also welcome submissions of other links which are appropriate for this page.
