Yukon-Northwest Seismograph Network: Broadband seismology in the northern Canadian Cordillera

加拿大北部科迪勒拉地区包括育空地区和西北地区西部，是观测地震学研究的理想天然实验室，因为该大陆这一地区的构造构造和地震活动丰富多样(每年约130M&GT；3次地震)。不幸的是，加拿大国家地震台网目前对地震仪器的覆盖范围远远不足以进行由更密集的台网提供的那种地震学变革性研究。因此，这项提议寻求资金支持与在育空和西北地区安装和维护10个最先进的宽带地震台站的区域网络有关的研究活动，称为育空-西北地震台网。特别是，这笔赠款将支持每年在夏季天气高峰期通过公路和飞机到达的地震台站的昂贵访问。

The northern Canadian Cordillera, encompassing Yukon and western Northwest Territories, is an ideal natural laboratory for research in observational seismology because of the rich diversity of tectonic structures and earthquake activity taking place in this part of the continent (~130 M>3 earthquakes per year). Unfortunately, current coverage of seismic instrumentation by the Canadian National Seismograph Network is vastly insufficient for the kind of transformative research in seismology that would be afforded by a denser network. This proposal thus seeks funding to support research activities related to the installation and maintenance of a regional network of 10 state-of-the-art broadband seismograph stations in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, referred to as the Yukon-Northwest Seismograph Network (YNSN). In particular, this grant will support expensive annual visits to seismograph station sites accessible by roads and airplanes during peak weather conditions in the summer period.
