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. <br class="">
<br class="">
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. <br class="">

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
