Array Studies of Central Andean Seismicity and Structure

该提案要求资金支持孟菲斯州立大学（MSU）和康奈尔大学（CU）的合作努力，以利用PANDA数字地震阵列在阿根廷安第斯山脉西部部署的成功。我们特别建议(1)在平坦俯冲区域继续分析正在进行的阿根廷圣胡安阵列实验的大量高质量数字数据；(2)将PANDA阵列迁移到世界上最杰出的高原隆升之一——安第斯高原中部的Altiplano-Puna边缘，并进行操作。位于俯冲的纳斯卡板块更陡峭的部分之上。大量新的、高质量的数据需要创新的分析方法，并承诺对地壳和岩石圈结构和地震活动有新的见解。

This proposal requests funds to support a collaborative effort by Memphis State University (MSU) and Cornell University (CU) to exploit the success of the PANDA digital seismic array deployment in the western Andes of Argentina. We specifically propose to (1) continue analysis of the flood of high quality digital data from the ongoing San Juan, Argentina array experiment in the region of flat subduction, and (2) relocate and operate the PANDA array across the edge of one of the world's outstanding plateau uplifts, the central Andean Altiplano-Puna, located above the more steeply dipping segment of the subducted Nazca Plate. The enormous quantity of new, high quality data demands innovative methods of analysis and promises new insights into crustal and lithospheric structure and seismicity.
