Intellectual MeritThe work proposed is to augment, upgrade and extend the monitoring period of an existing network of GPS and seismic instrumentation on the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. The questions to be addressed by the data collected include: 1) What is the relationship between slow slip, tremor, strain accumulation and interplate earthquakes. 2) What is the role of temperature and fluids in tremor and slip generation? 3) Is the occurrence of fast and slow slip tremor spatially and/or temporally separated? The answers to these questions have important implications for understanding seismic processes at subduction zones.Broader ImpactsThis project includes the training of several Ph.D. students. It also includes technology and science transfer to Costa Rica to improve their monitoring of earthquakes. The PIs propose to travel to 2 minority institutions to recruit students.

知识分子值得提议的工作是增加，升级和延长哥斯达黎加尼科亚半岛现有的GPS和地震仪器网络的监测期。收集到的数据要解决的问题包括：1）慢滑，震颤，应变积累和板间地震之间的关系是什么？ 2）温度和流体在震颤和滑动产生中的作用是什么？ 3）在空间上和/或时间分离的快速和缓慢滑动的发生？这些问题的答案对理解俯冲区域的地震过程具有重要意义。BroaderImpactssprompss项目包括对多个博士学位的培训。学生。它还包括技术和科学转移到哥斯达黎加，以改善他们对地震的监测。 PIS建议前往2个少数族裔机构招募学生。
