The Juan de Fuca Plate Laboratory: Comprehensive Investigation of Oceanic Ridge-Transform and Intraplate Seismicity from Regional Observations

PI将对Juan de Fuca板块系统的地震活动性和构造进行详细研究。 该板块提供了一个独特的协同作用的海洋板块边界（脊，转换，俯冲）和板内（戈尔达）的构造目标，可以有效地调查使用高质量的地震数据记录在附近的沿海宽带地震仪。该项目建立在PI以前的调查中获得的经验基础上，这些调查揭示了当前的Explorer区域构造，并提供了整个海洋转换断层系统的最高分辨率长期研究，布兰科转换断层带（BTFZ）。这项工作的更广泛影响是其对教育和更广泛的科学界的贡献。 PI将在项目中纳入研究生和本科生。 此外，研究结果可能有利于拟议中的区域有线天文台科学。

The PI will conduct a detailed study of the seismicity and tectonics of the Juan de Fuca plate system. The plate offers a unique synergy of oceanic plate boundary (ridges, transforms, subduction) and intra-plate (Gorda) tectonic targets that can be effectively investigated using high-quality seismic data recorded at close-by coastal broadband seismographs. This project builds on experience gained from the PI's previous investigations that unraveled the current Explorer region tectonics and provided the highest resolution long-term study of an entire oceanic transform fault system, the Blanco Transform Fault Zone (BTFZ).The broader impacts of this work are its contributions to education and the broader scienfic community. The PI will incorporate granduate and undergraduate students in the project. Additionally, the results will likely benefit the proposed Regional Cabled Observatory science.
