For anyone who missed the webinar on Monday on the Alaska Amphibious
Community Seismic Experiment, a recording of the presentations and
subsequent Q&A session is available <a

On March 16, NSF released a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL;
NSF16-061; <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2016/nsf16061/nsf16061.jsp">http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2016/nsf16061/nsf16061.jsp</a>)
encouraging proposals for community-driven shoreline-crossing
seismological arrays along the Alaska subduction margin. The
concept follows directly from the success of the Cascadia
Initiative (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://cascadia.uoregon.edu/">http://cascadia.uoregon.edu/</a>)
community experiment, and is targeted toward subduction-related
problems of relevance to GeoPRISMS and EarthScope science plans.
The Alaska experiment would take advantage of the Alaska
component of the Earthscope Transportable Array currently being
deployed, in a region of great earthquakes and abundant
volcanism. A workshop in October, 2014 provided scientific
rationale for such successors to the Cascadia Amphibious Array,
as outlined in a 2015 report (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.iris.edu/hq/files/workshops/2014/10/amphibious_array_facility/docs/AAFW_Report_FINAL.pdf">https://www.iris.edu/hq/files/workshops/2014/10/amphibious_array_facility/docs/AAFW_Report_FINAL.pdf</a>).
Much of that report emphasized the seismogenic megathrust and
volatile cycling through the subduction factory as the two major
science targets that require broad, shoreline-crossing
observations in subduction zones. Both targets could be
optimally addressed by studies of the Alaska margin. The DCL
specifically invites community experiment proposals to be
submitted to the July 15, 2016 GeoPRISMS deadline.<br>
<br>
This webinar discusses some of the scientific opportunities for
such a shoreline-crossing deployment of seismometers across the
Alaska Margin, and opportunities for complementary
magnetotelluric, geodetic, and other geophysical observations.
It focuses on opportunities in the regions off the Alaska
Peninsula and south-central Alaska, where the on-land
Transportable Array exists, extending onshore and offshore. <br>
<br>
The presenters will also discuss ways community members could
become involved in a community proposal for such a deployment,
along the lines described by the DCL. A web page (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://geoprisms.org/research/community-projects/alaska/"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://geoprisms.org/research/community-projects/alaska/">http://geoprisms.org/research/community-projects/alaska/</a></a>)
has been set up to engage community members and communicate
strategies, including a mechanism for qualified PI’s to
volunteer to join the PI team.<br>
<br>
This is an exciting opportunity to collect what should be one of
the seminal data sets from an active subduction zone. <br>
