Apply to Participate in the Eastern North America Community Seismic Experiment
We are looking for volunteer participants in the GeoPRISMS Eastern North America Community Seismic Experiment (ENAM CSE), which will collect a suite of active and passive source seismic data along the mid-Atlantic coast. The ENAM CSE involves the offshore and land deployment of seismometers that will record land and marine seismic sources and marine multi-channel seismic data acquisition. More information about the objectives and design of the ENAM CSE can be found online:

Explosion seismic shoot and onshore/offshore recording (Survey, deploy, recover Reftek instruments)
September 7 – October 11, 2014
PIs: Beatrice Magnani, Dan Lizarralde, Steven Harder
Active-source seismic cruise (Langseth)
PIs: Donna Shillington, Matt Hornbach, Anne Bécel
September 15 – October 22, 2014
Active-source OBS deployment (Endeavor)
September 12 – October 13, 2014
PIs: Harm Van Avendonk, Brandon Dugan
Research opportunities and travel funds are available for participation in any of the field activities. Selected applicants will contribute to collecting the open access data that will be provided to the scientific community for use in addressing a wide spectrum of GeoPRISMS and EarthScope science. These opportunities are designed to expand the visibility of land and marine seismic field programs and to expand the experience pool for field-based geophysics. Applications from students and early career scientists are particularly encouraged. Participants do not need to have experience with the type of data collection they will participate in; we hope that wide community participation in these field campaigns will provide opportunities for scientists to gain familiarity with a variety of data collection techniques.
If you are interested to participate, please inquire by email with the following PIs:
