12/99 –06/ land (18 mo) - 14 OBS (1st 6 mo) Mw=6.4 Outerrise EQ occurred just after OBS recovered. Main-shock and aftershocks were poorly located by our network Nicoya-CRSEIZE Analysts: (UCSC) - self (postdoc) - Heather DeShon (Grad) - Matt Densmore (UG) - Martin Valle (Grad) - Megan Avants (UG) - Dev Gobalkrishnan (UG) - Christina Bernot (UG) (OVSICORI) - Victor González - Marino Protti (GT) - Abhijit Ghosh (Grad) - Amanda Thomas (UG) - Alice Koerner (UG) - Jaime Convers (Grad) - Grant Farmer (UG/Grad) >10,000 regional events located

After initial location in 1D velocity model, events are relocated using 3D Vp, Vp/Vs from Deshon et al., 2006.

Cross-network relocations

-Remove crustal events -Define normal to a priori surface -Select minimum cylinder containing n (35) events -bin results normal to parabola -Determine new 3D position from only maximum seismicity bin Interface Modeling (maximum seismicity method) : By minimizing error associated with poor locations, it should well approximate interface <~40 km depth (intra-slab events deeper)
