1. October 2013 CoCom IRIS Portable Seismology PASC Version

2. SAGE Portable Seismology Award First Year Budget

3. Scope Modifications WBS/TaskCurrent Award Amt. Change in Scope From Proposal 3.1.3.1 – Management$60,750Prioritizing travel and meeting participation 3.1.3.2 – Governance$26,250Subject to new governance configuration and implementation 3.1.3.3 – Operations$3,905,498Prioritize instrumentation services: Increase production turnaround of seismic systems Benchmark of 55 experiments/year Providing no spare equipment Prioritizing PI support: Uniform “PASSCAL” level data support Clearly defined off-hours support 3.1.3.3.2 - RAMP$ 0NTR

4. Program Status – 3.1.3.1 Management Objective/Goals –Oversee IRIS Portable Seismology Program Progress to Date/Status –Initiated 1 October 2013 Planned activities and spending through 9/30/14 –Strategic Planning/Activities with Community –Re-focus and prioritization of program resources and operations Issues for CoCom/Board –Insufficient program resources/budget responding with change in scope –Aging/misuse of equipment –Communicating program change in scope to the community members –Need to continue seeking program opportunities

5. Program Status – 3.1.3.2 Governance Objective/Goals –Membership governance of IRIS Portable Seismology Program Progress to Date/Status –Underway Planned activities and spending through 9/30/14 –Fall 2013 PASC meeting, Socorro, NM –Instrumentation subcommittee –Strategic Plan Issues for CoCom/Board –PASC is unclear on its role in governance, not mentioned in new governance guidance –Concern with that “PASSCAL” has been replaced with “Portable”, recommend use of “PASSCAL” by replacing “Program for Array...” with “Portable Array... “. –Encourages IRIS to approach NSF about establishing a mechanism for more rapidly approving and distributing funding for future RAMP capability and deployments –Note, there are still unresolved issues regarding merger of FA and PA. PASC is working with PM and PIC staff to develop compliant and reasonable policies –PASC requests codification that within IS, PASSCAL has right of first refusal for any TA instrumentation that is no longer needed as the lower 48 stations become decommissioned. –PASC gave careful consideration and ultimately approved plan for prioritized PASSCAL services presented by Gridley and Beaudoin.

6. Program Status – 3.1.3.3 Operations Objective/Goals –Enabling advances in scientific discovery by providing instruments and expertise enabling earth scientists to collect seismic data with flexible arrays. Progress to Date/Status –Initiated 1 October 2013 –Program has been meeting mission expectations/goals Expectations and goals have changed for FY14. Planned activities and spending through 9/30/14 –Mission support for ~55* experiments/year –Initiate program prioritization measures –Ongoing IRIS mission support Issues for CoCom/Board –Abating budget and program resources –Increasing PI demand for program resources Scheduling Supporting PI innovation –Aging/failing/misuse of equipment

7. Program Status – RAMP Objective/Goals –Rapid Array Mobilization Program Progress to Date/Status –UTEP Chihuahua RAMP initiated Oct. 2013 Planned activities and spending through 9/30/14 –TBD Issues for CoCom/Board –Highly valued PI-program with insufficient resources (equipment and facility capacity)

8. Portable Seismology: Organization and HR Status Program organization –Portable Seismology NMT (PIC) UTEP Identify FTE budgeted vs. FTE on board –Portable Core: NMT and UTEP fully staffed Discuss open positions –NTR

9. Applicable Performance Target Status as of 9/1/13 Performance Target: –PASSCAL - annual subscription rate of the non-polar broadband sensors in the PASSCAL pool: 80% See latest quarterly for other program specifics –Inventory/Repair status –Recent equipment failure –M&S budget

10. Other than SAGE Award Status GEOICE “ Geophysical Earth Observatory for Ice- Covered Environments” Lead Institution:Central Washington Univ. Total Award:$3.2M Duration:3-years Instrumentation:~ 21 Broadband, ~86 Intermediate Period Status: –Kick off meeting October 26 –Work to begin soon

11. Summary and Conclusions Abating budget and program resources responding with change in scope Increasing PI demand for program resources –Scheduling stress Aging/failing/misuse of equipment Lack of program/facility flexibility to support PI innovation –Need to seek program opportunities See the several Governance issues
