Array Studies of Central Andean Seismicity and Structure

该提案要求提供资金，以支持一项合作计划。 孟菲斯州立大学和康奈尔大学的努力 (CU)利用PANDA数字的成功（1）继续 分析大量高质量数字数据， 阿根廷圣胡安正在进行的阵列实验， 俯冲，以及（2）重新定位和操作PANDA阵列， 世界上最突出的高原隆起之一的边缘， 中部安第斯高原普纳，位于更陡峭的 纳斯卡板块俯冲的倾斜部分。 的巨大 大量新的、高质量的数据需要创新的方法， 分析和承诺新的见解地壳和岩石圈 结构和地震活动性。

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 (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.
