title: Deep Structure of Three Continental Sutures in Eastern North America

description: This project will collect three years of broadband data along a linear profile stretching from Nova Scotia through Maine to northern Quebec. It is a collaboration between Columbia University, Rutgers University and University of QUebec in Montreal. The goals are lithospheric structure, from the center of the craton to the rifted edge, as well as a detailed investigation of three major tectonic boundaries (Grenville Front, Appalachian Front, Norumberga Fault zone) in the stable part of North American continent. The array is a mixture of longer-term widely spaced sites and three denser local arrays.

title: Bhutan Pilot Experiment

description: In coordination and collaboration with the Geological Survey of Bhutan and researchers at Princeton University,  researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) installed a temporary five station seismic network in the Kingdom of Bhutan in January 2002.  The network was removed in March 2003 in order to return borrowed IRIS PASSCAL equipment.  The goal of the deployment was to assist the Bhutanese government in assessing earthquake hazards in the country and to provide a foundation for developing a permanent seismic network.  The deployment is phase one of a three-phase plan approved by the Bhutan Council of Ministers to assist with technical issues associated with eventually installing a permanent network.

title: Magdalena Ridge Observatory site noise study

description: We performed a seismic site characterization in central New Mexico for the approx. 350-m baseline Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO) astronomical interferometer, which will operate at wavelengths between 600 nm and 2400 nm. The operation of an interferometer requires that optical path lengths be stable to within considerably less than one wavelength over the measurement timescale. The study analyzed 1-hour absolute and differential background noise windows at element locations between February and October of 2003. Data were acquired with IRIS PASSCAL stations consisting of four 3-component broadband 120-s STS-2 sensors in shallow vaults and Quanterra Q330 digitizers with both real-time 802.11 telemetry and on-site Baler14 recorders. Sensors were deployed at the ends of each of the three interferometer arms, and at the center of the array.

title: Broadband Seismic Studies of Dome Growth at Merapi Volcano, Indonesia

description: Nine broadband seismographs with CMG-40T seismometers and Reftek 72A-07 dataloggers. The instruments were installed around Merapi volcano (lat -7.54, lon 110.44, elev. 2950m) at distance about 150m through 3 km from the active growing dome. The purpose of the exp. is to collect further broadband seismic data during expected sustained activity at Merapi in order to experimentally test our hypotheses about occurrence of multiphase/long-period earthquakes at this volcano. The results of this study will have important implications in interpreting broadband signals associated with volcanic processes, and may lead to a fundamentally new understanding of seismic processes associated with active volcanic dome growth. This understanding is essential in forecasting eruptions and managing hazards for active andesitic arc volcanoes.

title: Collaborative Research: Lithospheric Scale Dynamics of Active Mountain Building along the Himalayan-Tibetan Collision Zone

description: Project Hi-CLIMB, the study of the Himalayan-Tibetan Continental Lithosphere during Mountain Building, is an initiative lead by Oregon State University and University of Illinois of the United States to study the lithospheric structure of the Himalayas and Tibet. The project will result in the very first, complete seismic profile across the Himalayas. The centerpiece of the project is a closely spaced, linear array of broadband seismographs, extending from the Ganga lowland, across the Himalayas, and onto the central Tibetan plateau. The array passes several key structural units of the plateau. The overall goal is to understand the evolution of the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau over the entire thickness of the continental lithosphere.  This is an international project with participation from Nepal, China, United States, France, and Germany.

title: Understanding Precambrian to Present Assembly of Greenland

description: This project is aimed at studying the crust and mantle structure under Greenland, which reflects the Precambrian to modern tectonic assembly of the island. Seismological data provide important constraints that are otherwise unavailable due to the thick ice sheet that covers most of Greenland. Knowledge of such structure allows us to test hypotheses about the tectonic history of Greenland, the causes of current ice flow, and lateral variations in elastic and viscous strength that control patterns of glacial isostatic adjustment. It also provides important information about the lower boundary condition for the ice sheet, including heat flux, and allows accurate prediction of seismic wave propagation, needed for analysis of earthquake source processes.

title: Cascadia Array of Arrays

description: Recently a new mode of coupled deformation and weak seismic radiation has been discovered in several subduction zones. Slow slip and weak tremor episodically occur down-dip from the locked portion of the megathrust interface at quasi-regular intervals and is termed Episodic Tremor and Slip (ETS). The close relationship and likely interaction with the locked and hazardous portions of subduction zones mandate better understanding of the ETS phenomena. This comprehensive study of many of the key questions surrounding ETS utilizes a temporary seismic deployment designed to image tremor in an active portion of the Cascadia Subduction Zone in unprecedented detail. Specifically, we will deploy an array of arrays to record the ETS events that are expected to occur during Summer 2009 and Fall 2010.

title: Integrated Seismological Studies of Crust and Upper Mantle Structure in Western Anatolia

description:  A 100-km long north-south trending array of 41 short-period instruments was deployed across an east-west trending graben system about 100 km east of Izmir in western Anatolia. In addition to the linear array, five broadband and four short-period stations were deployed as a regional array. Receiver functions were obtained for the short-period stations of the linear array using a stacking method developed by L. Zhu and used to obtain a cross-section of crustal structure. Receiver functions and shear-wave splitting measurements from the broadband instruments will be used to study, respectively, one-dimensonal crustal structure and upper mantle anisotropy. The regional arrays, along with selected stations of the linear array are being used to locate earthquakes within the study area and to obtain a three-dimensional velocity of the crust.

title: Collaborative Research: Collaborative Research: Dynamic Response of the Ross Ice Shelf to Ocean Waves and Structure and Dynamics of the Ross Sea from a Passive Seismic Deployment on the Ross Ice Shelf

description: Ocean gravity waves are dynamic, changeable elements of the global ocean environment, affected by ocean warming and changes in ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns. Their evolution may thus drive changes in ice-shelf stability by both mechanical interactions, and potentially increased basal melting, which in turn feed back on sea level rise. Our proposed research is intended to discover, through field observations and numerical simulations, how ocean wave-induced vibrations on ice shelves in general, and the Ross Ice Shelf (RIS), in particular, can be used to infer spatial and temporal variability of ice shelf mechanical properties.

The mechanical forcing to be examined involves a broad spectrum of surface gravity waves spanning local wind seas (at periods less than 10 s), sea swell (in the 10 - 30 s period band), and infragravity (IG) waves (periods from about 50 to 300 s).
