[iris-bulk] AGU Session S-17: USArray: Transportable Array and Flexible Array Observations

[IRIS]

We would like to call your attention to the following special session  
for the fall AGU meeting:
S-17: USArray: Transportable Array and Flexible Array Observations in  
the Western US
Alan Levander Michael Ritzwoller Rob van der Hilst

This session is designed to review what is being learned about the  
structure of the crust and mantle under the western United States from  
the USArray component of EarthScope.  The Transportable Array is now  
entering the Great Plains, having traversed most of the tectonically  
active regions of the contiguous U.S. Numerous Flexible Array  
deployments have now been fielded to investigate a large variety of  
geodynamic problems along the western margin and throughout the  
orogenic plateau.   We wish to compare USArray results being obtained  
from different seismological methods (including, but not restricted  
to, body and surface wave tomography, ambient noise tomography,  
receiver function analysis, and wavefield imaging) to gauge what  
USArray is telling us about the structure of tectonic North America.
