1 Proposal to site a seismic station on Diego Garcia Peter Davis Project IDA Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California, San Diego

2 Project IDA’s Goals: to develop high quality seismic data acquisition equipment to deploy systems globally at 2000 km spacing

3 Project IDA Funding NSF IRIS AFOSR Green Foundation USGS UCSD IDA

4 Why select Diego Garcia? geographic position

5 IRIS/IDA Seismic Network

6 IDA British sites: ESK - Eskdalemuir, Scotland; British Geological Survey ASCN - Ascension Island; British Broadcasting EFI - East Falkland Island; Falklands Landholdings HOPE - South Georgia Islands; British Antarctic Survey SHEL - Island of St Helena; Government of St Helena

7 IRIS Global Seismic Network

8 Why select Diego Garcia? geographic position seismic activity in region

14 How are the data used? seismological studies test ban treaty monitoring

15

16 How are the data used? Seismological studies test ban treaty monitoring tsunami warning

17 What equipment is needed? seismometers associated electronics telecommunications devices power (if necessary)

20 What site characteristics are necessary? removed from cultural noise prefer leeward side far from coast and breaking reefs access to power, communications

21 What infrastructure is required? seismographic vault

26 What infrastructure is required? seismographic vault power – 0.5 kW exclusive of air conditioning – 2.0 kW to climate control recording room

27 What infrastructure is required? seismographic vault power communications –TCP/IP via a serial circuit or LAN port –station produces 2 kbs continuously

28 What does installation involve? Personnel –one visit by IDA administrator lasting < 7 days –one visit by two IDA field engineers lasting 7- 14 days

29 What does installation involve? Personnel Shipping: –weight of equipment 1400-1600 lbs –usually shipped by air freight

30 What ongoing maintenance is required? one hour/week for routine operations 20 hrs/year non-routine maintenance site visits by IDA engineers < 0.5/yr
