Array Studies of Central Andean Seismicity and Structure

这项提议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，以利用熊猫数字的成功(1)继续分析阿根廷圣胡安正在进行的平面俯冲区域阵列实验的大量高质量数字数据，以及(2)将熊猫阵列重新安置到世界上最突出的高原隆起之一-安第斯高原中部-普纳的边缘，位于俯冲的纳斯卡板块更陡峭的部分上方。大量新的、高质量的数据需要创新的分析方法，并有望对地壳、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 (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.
