Collaborative EAGER project: Early Career Seismic Chief Scientist Training Cruise

联合国海洋法办事处最近的海洋地震调查表（MSQ）的结果表明，早期职业科学家多通道地震首席科学家培训巡航的价值。拟议并已发放资金，用于开展一个监控监培训方案，其中包括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学研究所便携式监控监系统（联合国海洋和海洋法办事处的一个设施）的价值。培训方案包括三个部分：㈠在航行前举行网络研讨会，向参与者介绍主动源海洋地震学的基本原理，提供有效规划即将进行的调查所需的科学背景，并向参与者介绍开放源处理和解释工具。网络研讨会将包括提案撰写和数据管理培训。申请将征求，包括最多2页的科学建议，网络研讨会系列后。一旦选定，参与者将在航行前讲习班之前通过几次远程呈现会议与主要参与者小组讨论其航行计划;然后，在航行前的为期两天的讲习班期间，参与者将在主要参与者小组的指导下最后确定航行计划; ㈡培训航行。每个参与者将有助于整个团队走下船与叠后时间迁移数据，以及写一份巡航报告合作;和（三）为期两天的数据解释讲习班与计算机为基础的可视化软件。智力优点：拟议的调查区域是在活跃的大陆边缘的美国西海岸，在那里的沉积和构造环境的各种可用，提供感兴趣的目标，以广泛的参与者。在俄勒冈州海岸外的扩展大陆边缘，从这次巡航中获得、处理和存档的地震反射剖面可用于对俯冲板块和阿斯托利亚扇以及含有天然气水合物的增生脊和含有古海洋学信息的半深海沉积物袋成像。目标对解决重要的社会相关问题有影响，如地震灾害和盆地的古气候记录。利用地震技术也有可能揭示东北太平洋边界上涌区域周围水柱内的实时、精细尺度。更广泛的影响：对于这个新颖的，变革性的项目，早期的职业科学家将从广泛的申请者库中选出。这个科学使命将在MSQ和其他地球科学列表服务器上做广告，并通过促进墨西哥裔/西班牙裔和美洲土著人在科学和地球科学妇女网络等组织的机会，鼓励代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的参与。参与者不仅将获得第一手的地震巡航经验，而且还将获得将他们的研究传达给非科学家的经验。建议的活动将用于告知公众地震研究对解决各种重要社会挑战的独特和重要贡献。结果将在AGU的GeoSpace博客和Instagram帐户上共享。巡航前和船上活动向社区提供的重要成果是建立和提供这次巡航期间使用的开放源码软件的“食谱”;并使从巡航中获得的数据在存档后立即开放。将与联合国后勤处办公室合作进行一次航行后调查，以获得参与者的反馈，并鼓励参与者编写国家科学基金会的建议，建议的数量将是对该环境合作战略成功与否的直接和最终衡量标准。

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.
