Perhaps you were interested in an immersion course in marine seismic 
data acquisition and processing but the timing for previous calls for 
participants did not fit your schedule. Your are in luck - there's 
another chance!  We are looking for graduate students and early career 
researchers to participate in an expedition to source region of the 
April 1, 2014 earthquakes off northern Chile.  Gravity data suggest 
remarkable correlations between crustal structure and earthquake 
activity during this sequence of earthquakes, which partially filled a 
previously recognized seismic gap.  During a cruise on the R/V Marcus 
Langseth in late spring, 2016, we will deploy ocean-bottom seismometers 
and acquire deep-crustal multichannel seismic reflection and 
large-aperture data to develop a crustal model for the source region. 
  Watchstanders will gain experience in the acquisition and processing 
of seismic reflection data, large-aperture data from ocean bottom 
seismometers (OBS), and multibeam bathymetry.

We will sail from northern Chile in late April/early May and return to 
port 45 days later.  Exact dates of departure and return are pending 
decisions on other cruises in the region. Travel costs to and from the 
ship will be covered. This cruise is the first phase of an international 
collaborative study, and the science party will include scientists from 
the US, Chile and Germany.

If you are interested in this adventure and are reliable, hard-working, 
and eager to experience the camaraderie of close quarters at sea, please 
send your CV, including at least 2 references, and a one page statement 
of interest to Anne Tréhu at Oregon State University by December 15, 
2015 (trehu at coas.oregonstate.edu).
