The PIs are funded to use surface and body wave tomographic techniques to examine the structure of the upper mantle beneath the Juan de Fuca Plate. OBS arrays associated with the Cascadia Initiative (CI) will be used in conjunction with land arrays to investigate the evolution of the plate?mantle system, from melt production and asthenospheric structure at the spreading center to plate deformation and small-scale convection at the subduction zone, as well as asthenospheric return flow from trench to ridge. Surface and body wave data will be combined in a joint inversion, followed by waveform modeling to refine tomographic images. An additional goal is to constrain the locations and mechanisms of moderate-sized earthquakes that occur before and during the experiment. The project will partner with education and outreach efforts associated with the CI, including mentoring community college students and contributing to the Seismometers@SchoolSites program for high school students. Post-doctoral scholars and graduate students will be trained. Project data will be incorporated into undergraduate coursework and research projects. The PIs will take advantage of the UO cloud computing facility for parts of the research.

这些pi项目利用表面波和体波层析成像技术来检查胡安·德·富卡板块下的上地幔结构。与卡斯卡迪亚计划（CI）相关的OBS阵列将与陆地阵列一起使用，以调查板块的演变。地幔系统，从扩张中心的熔体产生和软流圈结构，到俯冲带的板块变形和小尺度对流，以及软流圈从海沟到洋脊的回流。地表波和体波数据将结合在一起进行联合反演，然后进行波形建模以细化层析成像。另一个目标是限制在实验之前和实验期间发生的中等规模地震的位置和机制。该项目将与CI相关的教育和推广工作合作，包括为社区大学生提供指导，并为面向高中生的Seismometers@SchoolSites项目提供帮助。培养博士后和研究生。项目数据将纳入本科课程和研究项目。pi将利用UO的云计算设施进行部分研究。
