IRIS and its partners submitted the proposal, Enabling Discoveries in Multiscale Earth System Dynamics, to the National Science Foundation for the management and operation of the seismological and related capabilities of the National Geophysical Observatory for Geoscience (NGEO).
In addition to the Alaska Transportable Array and other EarthScope instrumentation, the deployment of the AACSE onshore-offshore array of seismometers will provide data to study the seismically active Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone.
