As I no longer work for a seismological observatory, I no longer have the data and tools I used to at my fingertips. However, with open data at and the free software, ANYBODY can obtain and view #earthquake data! This plot comes from this tiny Jupyter notebook.

Is it possible to export the raw displacement data to a csv with this? (I hope I'm asking this correctly).

Yes. You obtain the raw data from this script (or similar) and python can output it in basically any format you like.

Awesome! I will check it out. Thanks!
Note: the data you get from IRIS is, in the case above, the raw data of a seismometer (~velocity), which you can then correct for the instrument response you get from FDSN too and obtain the ground displacement.

Very true. There are vast numbers of operations you can (and may need to) perform on the data to be able to get the quantities you need. Obspy probably contains everything you need but it takes a little learning (for me anyway!) ...
