Summary of Field Work: |
55 ocean bottom seismometers from OBSIP to be deployed along the entire Blanco Transform Fault in a one year period. OBSIP personnel not included in the "Number in Science Party". |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Large ship, such as R/V Thomson, with modern multibeam system (EM300 or EM120); capable of deploying 40 OBS and OBS staging on transit. Revelle or Melville (w/ EM120) preferred for at least one leg to survey deeper parts of the Blanco transform. |
