- Pacific Ocean ; Alaska
- Project Type: Research
DESCRIPTION: The project will use active-source seismic targeting of the seismic seduction zone off the Alaskan Peninsula to examine the properties and behavior of the megathrust. This will be accomplished using five multi-channel seismic profiles and two 8km streams from the R/V Langseth.
OUTCOMES: Large amounts of data collected, four journal publications, and a website have been created.
