Deep Tremor News: Jan. 2008 - ....         (Winter - Spring, 2008)

This page will have frequent updates from observations and studies of Cascadia deep tremor during the Winter and Spring of 2008 associated with the CAFE experiment including imaging the structure of the Cascadia subduction zone and a study of deep tremor associated with Episodic Tremor and Slip (ETS).
News will be posted on this page (latest at the top) and references to figures from time to time.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The University of Washington seismic group began studying deep tremor associated with Episodic Tremor and Slip (ETS) events in 2003 using both the regional PNSN and small aperture arrays. With NSF funding we installed Cascadia Arrays for Earthscope (CAFE) for both structural and tremor studies. The CAFE experiment is still installed as of winter, 2008; however the transportable array stations (TA) of earthscope are starting to be pulled out of western Oregon and many will be pulled out of western Washington in February ....... just before the next ETS. Too bad. Some of the more critical stations are being left longer as well as some stations that the PNSN is taking over by purchasing the equipment from IRIS using funds supplied by the Murdock Chairtable Foundation.

Using stations from the PNSN and the TA we use a semi-automated processing system to track the general occurence of where and when deep tremor takes place.

As in the past we plan to collaborate closely with the seismologists and geodesists of the Pacific Geoscience Centre (Natural Resources Canada) and Central Washington University to follow the development of the next ETS.
