Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

High-Res Patagonia Lacustrine Seismic Cruise: Call for Participation

Date: 02/04/2019

On Behalf of Beatrice Magnani:
-------------------------------------------

Call for Participation: High-Res Patagonia Lacustrine Seismic Cruise (May 2019)
Application Deadline: Feb 15, 2019

Cruise dates: May 1-31, 2019 (flexibility of ±5 days on either end required)

PI: M. Beatrice Magnani

Science Party: up to 5

Applications are being solicited to participate in the Argentinian Patagonia lacustrine cruise, part of the multidisciplinary GUANACO Project that will acquire ~500 km of high-resolution seismic reflection data in the proglacial region of Lago Argentino, located in the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, Argentina. The data collected during the cruise will image the glacial history of the region, which today is experiencing very rapid vertical uplift (~4 cm/yr at peak) due to glacial isostatic adjustment, and provide key observational constraints on glacier fluctuations, bedrock erosion and sediment transport.

Science party responsibilities will include daily 8-hour watches to assist in deployment and recovery of the streamer, airgun and chirp equipment, collect, process and archive multi- and single-channel seismic reflection data, as well as crewing on board seismic instrumentation. Cruise activities will include reading and discussion of papers pertinent to the science goals of the experiment. We will maintain a project blog throughout the cruise and participants will be encouraged to contribute.

Applications from graduate students and early-career scientists are encouraged. Applicants need to have experience with seismic reflection data collection, either marine or land. Funds for travel to/from Patagonia will be provided for US-based researchers.

To apply, please assemble an application package (2-page CV and 1-page statement of interest and experience) and submit it electronically to M. Beatrice Magnani (mmagnani@smu.edu) no later than February 15, 2019. Applications from graduate students and post-docs require a letter of support from the graduate advisor or supervisor.

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.
1) Use this style guide :
• All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
• Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
• Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
• NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.
