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

PI将对胡安德·富卡板块系统的地震活动和构造进行详细研究。该板块提供了大洋板块边界(海脊、转换、俯冲)和板块内(戈尔达)构造目标的独特协同作用，可以利用附近沿海宽带地震仪记录的高质量地震数据有效地进行研究。这个项目建立在国际和平研究所以前的调查所获得的经验的基础上，这些调查揭示了当前的探索区构造，并提供了对整个海洋转换断层系统--布兰科转换断裂带(BTFZ)--的最高分辨率的长期研究。这项工作的更广泛的影响是它对教育和更广泛的科学界的贡献。PI将把本科生和本科生纳入该项目。此外，这一结果可能会使拟议的区域有线天文台科学受益。

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.
