Cascadia Facility: Advancing EarthScope & MARGINS Research

The Cascadia Facility supports EarthScope and MARGINS objectives focusing on onshore/offshore studies. Decisions on plan choices impact OBS purchases like deep vs. shallow water deployments. Timeline spans 2010-2014 for phased deployment and array expansion, including reevaluating onshore configurations. It also discusses the timing and decision-making for PBO components.

  1. Cascadia Facility Purpose • “...to support EarthScope and MARGINS science objectives, with particular emphasis on onshore/offshore studies ...” [FAQ #1]

  2. Plan A: “The Grid” 70 km spacing 59 OBS’s 25 onland

  3. Plan B: 2-stage

  4. Plan C: Synoptic view of the Trench (is this the right on-land configuration for this plan?)

  5. Decisions decisions... • Choice of plan impacts OBS purchase decisions immediately • deep vs. shallow water etc. • For some plans we may reevaluate onshore (TA) configuration

  6. Strawman Timing & Calendar • 2010-2011 first 1/2 OBS’s, most TA • 2011- end 2012 full array #1 • 2013- early 2014 full array #2 • (or do some OBS’s advance elsewhere?) • 2014 onward: What happens TA/OBS? 15 mo deployment, 3-6 mo turnaround?? * need to clarify & decide

  7. PBO component • Additional processing? • Timing recommendations?
