Data Archiving Workshop

PASSCAL Data Archiving Workshop December 13, 2009 San Francisco - Palomar Hotel

A PASSCAL data archiving workshop is offered prior to Fall AGU Meeting in San Francisco. We will present new methods and tools, and outline best practices for archiving PASSCAL and Flexible Array data. PASSCAL users who are new or unfamiliar with seismic data processing, or those who simply wish a refresher in basic concepts and procedures, are especially encouraged to attend this one-day workshop.

Array of Arrays: Elusive ETS in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

ETS, or 'episodic tremor and slip', is a recently discovered phenomenon in seismic research. Similar to earthquakes but much smaller in magnitude, ETS events are associated with the subduction zone of some convergent plate boundaries. One such region, the Cascadia subduction zone under the Puget Sound, is the focus of an experiment by Ken Creager's group at the University of Washington (UW), called Array of Arrays.

Sierra Negra Volcano, Galápagos Islands Deployment

In July and August of 2009, seven scientists deployed several seismic sensors for a two-year multidisciplinary study of one of the world's most active volcanoes, the Sierra Negra Volcano of the Galápagos Islands. The project's official name is “Collaborative Research: An integrated seismic-geodetic study of active magmatic processes at Sierra Negra volcano, Galápagos Islands.”
