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.
