Results of the recent UNOLS Marine Seismic Questionnaire (MSQ) demonstrate the value of an earlycareer scientist Multi-Channel Seismic (MCS) chief scientist training cruise. Proposed, and awarded, are funds to carry out a MCS training program that includes 4 days of seismic data acquisition to increase the number of early career scientistsexperienced in marine seismology and to demonstrate the value of the Scripps Institution ofOceanography portable MCS system, a UNOLS facility. The training program consists of three parts: (i)Webinars prior to the cruise to expose the participants to the fundamentals of active source marineseismology, to provide the scientific background needed to plan the upcoming survey effectively, and tointroduce the participants to open source processing and interpretation tools. The Webinars will includeProposal Writing and Data Management training. Applications will be solicited, including a maximum 2-page science proposal, after the webinar series. Once selected, participants will discuss their cruise planswith the PI team prior to the pre-cruise workshop via several telepresence meetings; then, during a 2-dayworkshop immediately before the cruise, the participants will finalize the cruise plan under the PI team'sguidance; (ii) A training cruise. Each participant will contribute to the entire team walking off the shipwith post-stack time migrated data, as well as writing a cruise report collaboratively; and (iii) a 2-day datainterpretation workshop with computer-based visualization software.Intellectual Merit:The proposed survey regions are on the active continental margin of the west coast of the United States,where a variety of sedimentary and tectonic settings are available, providing targets of interest to a widerange of participants. At the extended continental margin off the coast of Oregon, the seismic reflectionprofiles acquired, processed, and archived from this cruise can be used to image the subducting plate andthe Astoria Fan, as well as accretionary ridges hosting gas hydrate and pockets of hemipelagic sedimentcontaining paleo-oceanographic information. Targets have implications for addressing importantsocietally relevant questions, such as earthquake hazards and paleoclimate records in basins. There willalso be potential for using seismic techniques to reveal real-time, fine-scale within the water columnaround upwelling regions of the northeastern Pacific Ocean boundaries. Open access data from this cruisecan augment on-going and near-future science conducted by a broader community.Broader Impacts:For this novel, transformative project, early-career scientists will be selected from a wide applicant pool.This science mission will be advertised on the MSQ and other geoscience listservs, and encouraged participationsof underrepresented minorities and women by promoting the opportunity via organizations such asSociety for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Scienceand Earth ScienceWomen's Network. Participants will gain not only first-hand seismic cruise experience but alsoexperience communicating their research to non-scientists. The proposed activities will be used to informthe public about the unique and essential contributions of seismic research toward solving a variety ofimportant societal challenges. Results will be shared on the AGU's GeoSpace blog and Instagramaccount. Important deliverables from the pre-cruise and onboard activities to the community are toestablish and provide "cookbook" of the open source software used during this cruise; and make the dataacquired from the cruise open immediately as soon as they are archived at the publically accessiblearchives. A post-cruise survey will be conducted in collaboration with the UNOLS office to obtainfeedback from the participants and encourage the participants to write NSF proposals, the number ofwhich will be the direct and ultimate measurement of the success of this ECS.

最近联合国海事组织海洋地震调查问卷(MSQ)的结果表明，职业早期科学家多渠道地震(MCS)首席科学家培训巡航的价值。提议并授予了开展海洋监测监测系统培训方案的资金，该方案包括4天的地震数据采集，以增加在海洋地震学方面有经验的早期职业科学家的人数，并展示斯克里普斯海洋研究所便携式监测监测系统的价值，该系统是联合国最不发达国家办事处的一个设施。培训计划包括三个部分：(I)巡航前的网络研讨会，让参与者了解活跃的海洋地震学的基本知识，提供有效规划即将到来的调查所需的科学背景，并向参与者介绍开源处理和解释工具。网络研讨会将包括命题写作和数据管理培训。在网络研讨会系列结束后，将征集申请，包括最多两页的科学提案。一旦选定，参与者将在巡航前研讨会之前通过几次网真会议与PI团队讨论他们的邮轮计划；然后，在邮轮之前为期两天的研讨会上，参与者将在PI团队的指导下敲定邮轮计划；(Ii)培训邮轮。每个参与者将为整个团队提供叠后时间迁移的数据，并共同撰写巡航报告；以及(Iii)为期两天的数据解释研讨会，使用基于计算机的可视化软件。智力优势：拟议的调查区域位于美国西海岸的活动大陆边缘，那里有各种沉积和构造环境，为广泛的参与者提供了感兴趣的目标。在俄勒冈州海岸外延伸的大陆边缘，从这次巡航中获得、处理和存档的地震反射剖面可以用来成像俯冲板块和阿斯托里亚扇，以及含有天然气水合物的吸积脊和含有古海洋信息的半洋沉积区。目标对解决重要的社会相关问题有影响，例如地震灾害和盆地的古气候记录。还有可能使用地震技术来揭示东北太平洋边界上升区周围水柱内的实时、精细尺度。来自这艘邮轮的开放获取的数据增加了由更广泛的社区进行的正在进行和近期进行的科学。更广泛的影响：对于这个新颖的、变革性的项目，早期职业科学家将从广泛的申请者池中挑选出来。这项科学任务将在MSQ和其他地球科学名单上做广告，并通过诸如奇卡诺人/西班牙裔美国人促进会和美洲原住民科学和地球科学妇女网络等组织促进机会，鼓励代表不足的少数族裔和妇女参与。参与者不仅将获得第一手地震巡航体验，还将获得与非科学家交流他们的研究的经验。拟议的活动将用于向公众宣传地震研究对解决各种重要的社会挑战所作出的独特而重要的贡献。结果将在AGU的地球空间博客和Instagram账户上分享。邮轮前和船上活动对社区的重要交付成果是建立并提供这次邮轮期间使用的开源软件的“食谱”；一旦从邮轮上获得的数据在公众可访问的检索处存档后立即公开。将与联合国后勤基地办事处合作进行一次巡航后调查，以获得参与者的反馈，并鼓励参与者撰写国家安全框架提案，其数量将是对这一环境方案成功与否的直接和最终衡量。
