*Workshop on the Future of the Amphibious Array*
*Thursday-Friday, October 23-24, 2014
Snowbird, Utah
This two day workshop will consider the future of the Amphibious Array
of onshore and ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS's) currently deployed as
the Cascadia Initiative. The workshop will have two primary goals:
1) to evaluate the ongoing Cascadia Initiative deployment of the
Amphibious Array, which will have completed 3 of 4 years by the time of
the workshop, and
2) to make recommendations for the type, size and scope of future
scientific studies using the Amphibious Array, identifying critical
scientific targets and recognizing the capabilities of the Amphibious Array.
The first goal will be achieved through emphasis on technical or
logistical reports that assess the current operations and
instrumentation of the Amphibious Array, addressing issues such as
instrument performance and data quality, the performance of OBS's
deployed in shallow waters, and integration of on-land with offshore
operations. Understanding this performance will be needed to help define
the scope of future deployments. The second goal will be achieved
through a series of community recommendations to emerge for future
deployments, considering critical scientific targets at a variety of
scales and durations. Planning will focus on the EarthScope footprint
and the period through 2018, although longer-term plans will be discussed.
*Abstracts and White Papers *
Community contributions will form a critical aspect of the workshop
discussions. If you plan to put forward either an abstract or white
paper, then please register and submit these by Tuesday, September 9.
*Registration and Travel Support*
Considerable travel support is available to enable attendance for this
workshop. To be eligible, please register by Tuesday, September 9 and
indicate your needed level of funding. All other registrations close on
Tuesday, September 30.
*For Students and Post-Docs*
There is a special pre-workshop event on the evening of Wednesday,
October 22. Students and post-docs requesting support should plan to
attend this program.
