This onshore/offshore broadband seismic array directly follows from the Amphibious Array Futures Workshop in 2014 and responds to NSF's Dear Colleague Letter 16-061 inviting proposals for community seismic deployments across the Alaska margin that coincide with the TA deployment. This experiment follows the Cascadia Initiative and design follows a series of community activities, webinars, etc. Everything will be scheduled for a single 15-month deployment May 2018 - Aug 2019, when ship time is likely to be available for OBS operations and while the TA is still operating. A total of 85 broadband OBS's will be offshore, subject to a parallel OBSIP request. Onshore, 30 broadband seismometers will be deployed from Kodiak to the Shumagin Islands, extending north across and past Katmai. Deployment must be coincident with OBS's. All but 3 of the sites are in remote locations, accessible by fixed-wing small craft, float plane, or boat, based in Kodiak (50%), King Salmon, and either Port Heiden or Sand Point. Because ...
