Seafloor seismic measurements in the southern Bering

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6237426

The paper discusses the plans being made to monitor the earthquake response of seafloor sediments in and near southwestern Alaskan offshore leasing areas. These sites possess high seismicity for which limited data exist. The Sandia Seafloor Earthquake Measurement System (SEMS) would be deployed to collect the necessary data over an eight-year time span. A proposal for a joint industry-government project to accomplish this goal has been circulated. 9 references, 4 figures, 1 table.
