Goals for the summer

June 8th, 2010

Well, Beatice gave a pretty good introduction to the project I will be working on.  If everyone remembers, she mentioned that one day during an active survey, they found a swarm of microearthquakes.  At this time, there is no known reason for these earthquakes.  Therefore, my project this summer is to figure out what is going on.  After the initial detection of these events, a broadband array was deployed and has been recording data for the past year or so.  We will be combing through the data trying to determine if these events were merely coincidence or if they are occurring at any regular intervals.  Therefore, my biggest goal is to discover just that.  I also have some smaller, more personal goals.  I would like to learn SAC and GMT and also continue to learn Matlab better.  Also, if I have the chance, I want to work with ProMax and try to learn as much of the software as I can.
