    @4CASTGofar sails again

    Leg 3 of the 2019-2021 Gofar Transform Fault Earthquake Prediction Experiment set sail from San Diego earlier this month and arrived on site in the equatorial Pacific this week. The scientists, engineers, and crew aboard the R/V Thompson are now working to recover ocean bottom seismometers, use the autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry to image the […]

  • A new phase of seismic experiments on Gofar Transform Fault begins this week as we set sail on the R/V Atlantis to deploy seismometers and dredge for rocks. This project builds on the successful 2007-2008 Gofar-Discovery-Quebrada experiment (McGuire et al., 2012; Roland et al. 2012). Lead PI for this NSF-funded project is Margaret Boettcher, with […]
