This grant is for establishing a dedicated Management Office to oversee the Ocean Bottom Seismic Instrument Pools (OBSIP). The academic community, supported by the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) Marine Geology & Geophysics Core Program and other significant initiatives like EarthScope and ODP, requires extensive deployments of ocean-bottom seismometers and hydrophones for critical science questions. OBSIP was created in 1999 to address this need by providing numerous instruments, maintaining essential technical capabilities, and ensuring broad user access. Given the ongoing high demand for these specialized instruments, the Marine Geology and Geophysics Program of OCE is inviting proposals to manage OBSIP, ensuring continued support for vital marine geological and geophysical research.

| Description: | SUMMARY OF PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSThe academic community is addressing science questions as described, for example, in the 1996 Future of Marine Geology and Geophysics (FUMAGES) report, that require short- and long-term deployments of large numbers of ocean-bottom seismometers and/or ocean-bottom hydrophones. In addition to supporting research funded through the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) Marine Geology & Geophysics Core Program, there is increasing use of ocean bottom seismometers by the EarthScope, Continental Dynamics, Ocean Drilling Program, Ridge2000, and MARGINS Programs. To provide the large number of instruments needed to support these programs, maintain the necessary technical capability, and provide access to Ocean-Bottom Seismic Instruments for a broad user community, the Ocean-Bottom Seismic Instrument Pools (OBSIP) were established in 1999. In light of the continuing demand for ocean bottom seismometers, the Marine Geology and Geophysics Program of OCE invites proposals to establish a Management Office for OBSIP. |
