该提案要求提供资金，以支持一项合作计划。 孟菲斯州立大学和康奈尔大学的努力 (CU)利用熊猫数字地震阵列的成功 阿根廷西部安第斯山脉部署。 我们特别 建议（1）继续分析高质量的洪水 正在进行的阿根廷圣胡安阵列实验的数字数据 在平坦俯冲区域，（2）重新定位和操作 PANDA阵列横跨世界优秀边缘之一 高原隆起，中部安第斯高原普纳，位于上述 纳斯卡板块俯冲的更陡峭的部分。 大量新的高质量数据需要创新 分析方法，并承诺新的见解地壳和 岩石圈结构与地震活动

This proposal requests funds to support a collaborative effort by Memphis State University (MSU) and Cornell University (CU) to exploit the success of the PANDA digital seismic array deployment in the western Andes of Argentina. We specifically propose to (1) continue analysis of the flood of high quality digital data from the ongoing San Juan, Argentina array experiment in the region of flat subduction, and (2) relocate and operate the PANDA array across the edge of one of the world's outstanding plateau uplifts, the central Andean Altiplano-Puna, located above the more steeply dipping segment of the subducted Nazca Plate. The enormous quantity of new, high quality data demands innovative methods of analysis and promises new insights into crustal and lithospheric structure and seismicity.
