Dear Colleague Letter: Seafloor Geodesy 2022
September 20, 2022
A new NSF Dear Colleague Letter: Seafloor Geodesy 2022, (NSF DCL 22-124 https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf22124) has been posted inviting proposals for seafloor geodesy field campaigns to deploy transponders from an existing instrument pool for 1-4 sites at tectonic settings that target volcanic processes, transform processes, plate motions, or polar regions as identified in the 2021 Community Workshop report on Seafloor Geodesy (https://www.seafloorgeodesy.org/post/future-directions-in-seafloor-geodesy-2021-community-workshop). The geodetic instruments have a depth limit of 3000 m and a multi-year deployment is envisioned with requisite waveglider surveys. Projects can be Program Investigator-driven or Community-driven.
Proposers should contact program officers Gail Christeson gchriste@nsf.gov or Michael Jackson mejackso@nsf.gov early in the proposal development process for seafloor geodetic facility budget preparation guidance.
Proposals should be submitted by February 15, 2023.
