Seismological Research Letters (SRL) announces the Focus Section on EarthScope: Alaska and Canada.
As part of the NSF-funded EarthScope project, the USArray Transportable Array deployment in Alaska and Western Canada was completed in the fall of 2017 with nearly 200 telemetered broadband seismic and infrasound stations expected to collect data through the summer of 2020. This unprecedented systematic broadband coverage of the entirety of continental Alaska and northwest Canada provides the seismological community with a dataset intended to help illuminate long-standing questions and aid in new discoveries. The diverse tectonic environment of Alaska and northwest Canada provides a world-class setting for investigating seismicity, plate boundaries, distributed intraplate deformation, subduction, active volcanism, infrasound phenomena and a myriad of other Earth processes.
This SRL focus section aims to publish results from studies utilizing all or part of this community asset to investigate structures ranging from the crust to core, active tectonics, volcanism, local, regional and teleseismic earthquakes or the other elastic wave sources and seismic wave propagation.
