<p>Dear Member of the Global Seismology community, <br>
<br>
The <b>I</b><b>RIS GSN Working Group on Long-Term Seafloor
Seismographs</b> (<a
href="https://www.iris.edu/hq/about_iris/governance/wgltss">WGLTSS</a>)
invites you to participate in a short survey related to questions
in global seismology and allied disciplines that can be addressed
by future long-running seafloor seismic stations. Last December at
AGU, this working group held a <a
href="cid:part2.34A7FD91.45076A58@iris.edu"><b>Special Interest
Group meeting</b> </a>to discuss the scientific targets and
associated data needs from seafloor seismographs. The goal of the
SIG was to gather community input in order to provide guidance on
designing a pilot experiment to deploy long-term seismographs on
the seafloor. <br>
</p>
<p>As a result of discussion at the SIG, we have designed this short
survey in which we ask for your participation. In this survey, you
will have an opportunity to articulate (up to) three unanswered
questions where significant advancement could be made with up to
five new, long-term seafloor seismometers or small-aperture
seafloor arrays. Questions can include unsolved problems in
seismic structure, tectonic evolution, geodynamics, composition,
magnetic field, earthquake source processes, or other relevant
disciplines that require seismic data from long-running seafloor
stations as a direct constraint. <br>
</p>
<p>Please consider filling out the survey at: </p>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/288KP9P">https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/288KP9P</a>
<p> We anticipate it will take approximately 15 minutes to
complete. Your community input will be directly relevant to a
pilot experiment design. The survey will be available until <b>March
19th, 2018</b>. <br>
</p>
<p>Kind Regards,</p>
Monica Kohler (Chair of the WGLTSS)<br>
