Collaborative Research: Collection of Open Data for Broadband Seismological Observations of Aftershocks of the February 27, 2010 Chilean Earthquake

2010年2月27日发生在智利海岸的8.8级地震是有记录以来第五大的巨型逆冲断层地震，为我们进一步了解巨型逆冲断层地震及其相关现象提供了前所未有的机会。作为一项协作努力，将在余震区部署60个便携式宽带地震台站阵列，为期约6个月，其中包括来自佛罗里达大学、亚利桑那大学和伦斯勒理工学院等学术机构的科学领导，以及IRIS/PASSCAL/USAray的设施，以收集开放的社区数据集。将与圣地亚哥的智利大学和在破裂地区安装地震和大地测量仪器的其他国际团体密切合作，进行部署和随后的数据收集和研究。最近的进展，了解幕式震颤和缓慢滑动事件在下倾边缘的巨型逆冲断裂带正在重塑我们的思想俯冲带动力学。2010年智利地震提供了一个极好的机会，收集以上的孕震区，更深的幕式震颤区，并在下行和覆盖板块的重要观测。智利俯冲带的这一段与卡斯卡迪亚和阿拉斯加有相似之处（浅倾角，海沟中的沉积物和大地震的历史），可以为比较研究提供重要信息。一系列强有力的余震可能会持续数月。部署的目标是为2010年智利地震的大范围科学项目提供一个开放的社区数据产品。一个全社区协调的办法将提供最高质量的数据集，可供世界各地广泛的专业人员和机构立即使用。该奖项由地球科学理事会地球科学司和美洲计划国际科学与工程办公室支持。

The magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Chile on February 27, 2010 is the fifth largest megathrust earthquake ever to be recorded and provides an unprecedented opportunity to advance our understanding of megathrust earthquakes and associated phenomena. An array of 60 portable, broadband seismic stations will be deployed in the aftershock zone for approximately six months as a collaborative effort, involving scientific leadership from academic institutions like the University of Florida, University of Arizona, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the facilities of IRIS/PASSCAL/USArray, to collect an open community data set. The deployments and subsequent data collection and research will be carried out in close collaboration with the University of Chile in Santiago and other international groups installing seismic and geodetic instrumentation in the rupture area. Recent advances in understanding episodic tremors and slow slip events at the down-dip edge of megathrust rupture zones are reshaping our thinking about subduction zone dynamics. The 2010 Chile earthquake provides an excellent opportunity to collect important observations above the seismogenic zone, the deeper episodic tremor regions, and in the down-going and over-riding plates. This segment of the Chile subduction zone has similarities with Cascadia and Alaska (shallow dip, sediments in the trench, and history of great earthquakes) and can provide important information for comparative studies. An energetic aftershock sequence will likely to continue for many months. The goal of the deployment is to produce an open community data product for the 2010 Chile earthquake for a large range of science projects. A community-wide coordinated approach will provide the best quality data set that can be utilized immediately by a wide range of PIs and institutions around the world.
