Research Instrumentation |
| In 2007, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Major Research Initiative (MRI) grant to the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) as a result of intermediate results and successes with the autonomous station design from MRI 1. The purpose of this grant to IRIS is to begin establishing a pool of seismic instrumentation and station infrastructure packages designed to operate PASSCAL experiments in Polar Regions. Procurement has begun on this new pool and support of field operations have already begun on projects in Greenland (Helheim Glacier) and Antarctica (Gambertsev Mountains Project – AGAP; POLENET; and a tomographic study of Mt Erebus). Along with the equipment, PASSCAL has now established a dedicated staff to polar projects to further enhance the support and quality of the data return for these challenging projects. |
