Location
Supporting Stations: Palmer Station DescriptionThe United States Geological Survey's Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory (USGS- ASL), in collaboration with the NSF-sponsored Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology consortium's Portable Network's Instrumentation Center (IRIS-PASSCAL), maintains and operates seismometers at South Pole in the South Pole Remote Earth Science and Seismological Observatory (SPRESSO) vault and at Palmer Station in the Terra Lab.
Field Season OverviewThe project has space in Terra Lab for data analyzer hardware. All other hardware and the seismometer are housed in the seismic vault behind Terra Lab. Two participants will deploy to Palmer Station for three weeks to replace the instruments in the seismic vault. Planned activities include using a USGS-provided rock drill to site new instruments. No team members will deploy to Scott Base or South Pole this season. The Antarctic Support Contract will provide year-round, onsite support by a research associate.
