An integrated multi-institutional effort of multi-scale seismic imaging of the Mariana Subduction Factory (MSF). The PIs will conduct multi-channel seismic reflection profiling, controlled-source wide-angle reflection/refraction profiling and passive recording of local and teleseismic earthquakes through OBS deployment to be carried out with Japanese investigators. The data will provide a comprehensive velocity and attenuation, structural and stratigraphic image of the MSF. The principal objectives of the study are to understand: 1) velocity and attenuation structure of the mantle, 2) large-scale flow of the mantle wedge, 3) velocity structure of the subducting oceanic crust, 4) seismic stratigraphy and structure of the forearc, arc and remnant arc, 5) the magma chamber below the volcanoes, 6) a possible double seismic zone, and 7) updip an downdip limits of the seismogenic zone. The study will also help in the planning and eventual drilling in the Mariana island arc system.

马里亚纳俯冲工厂（MSF）多尺度地震成像的综合多机构努力。pi将进行多通道地震反射剖面，可控源广角反射/折射剖面，并通过OBS部署与日本调查人员一起进行本地和远震地震的被动记录。这些数据将提供MSF的综合速度和衰减、构造和地层图像。研究的主要目的是：1)地幔的速度和衰减结构，2)地幔楔的大规模流动，3)俯冲洋壳的速度结构，4)地震地层学和前弧、弧和残弧的结构，5)火山下的岩浆室，6)可能的双地震带，7)孕震带的上倾和下倾界限。这项研究还将有助于马里亚纳岛弧系统的规划和最终钻探。
