SYNOPSIS
EarthScope is an Earth science program to explore the 4-dimensional  
structure of the North American continent. The EarthScope Program  
provides a framework for broad, integrated studies across the Earth  
sciences, including research on fault properties and the earthquake  
process, strain transfer, magmatic and hydrous fluids in the crust  
and mantle, plate boundary processes, large-scale continental  
deformation, continental structure and evolution, and composition and  
structure of the deep-Earth. In addition, EarthScope offers a  
centralized forum for Earth science education at all levels and an  
excellent opportunity to develop cyberinfrastructure to integrate,  
distribute, and analyze diverse data sets.

The nucleus of the Program is the EarthScope Facility, consisting of  
the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO), the San Andreas Fault  
Observatory at Depth (SAFOD), and the USArray. The EarthScope  
Facility is a multi-purpose array of instruments and observatories  
that will greatly expand the observational capabilities of the Earth  
Sciences and permit us to advance our understanding of the structure,  
evolution and dynamics of the North American continent. The Facility  
is designed to continually incorporate technological advances in  
geophysics, seismology, geodesy, information technology, drilling  
technology, and downhole instrumentation.

This Solicitation calls for single or collaborative proposals to  
conduct scientific research associated with the EarthScope Facility  
and support activities that further the scientific and educational  
goals of EarthScope.
