Description of the ENAM project taken from the GeoPRISMS website: <br>
<br>
The goal of the Eastern North American Margin Community Seismic
Experiment is to understand the breakup of ancient continents that
led to the formation of the eastern edge of North America and the
Atlantic Ocean and the later evolution of this continental margin by
landslides and other active processes. A record of these geological
events is stored in the rocks offshore North Carolina. We have
collected active and passive, onshore and offshore seismic data to
image geological structures at a range of scales to learn about the
evolution of continental margins and their geohazards.<br>
<br>
This project involved the following major components:<br>
<ul>
<li> Deploying broadband ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) across
the continental margin for one year with the R/V Endeavor (April
2014)</li>
<li> Deploying broadband seismometers on the Outer Banks to
connect between EarthScope stations and the offshore array (May
2014)</li>
<li> Acquiring marine seismic reflection data across the margin
with the R/V Marcus G. Langseth (Sept-Oct 2014)</li>
<li> Deploying short-period OBS across the margin with the R/V
Endeavor to record the Langseth’s seismic source (Sept-Oct 2014)</li>
<li> Deploying short-period seismometers onshore to record the
Langseth’s seismic source (Sept-Oct 2014)</li>
<li> Acquiring onshore active-source seismic data (summer 2015)</li>
</ul>
This is an academic project funded by the NSF-GeoPRISMS program. The
U.S. science community selected the margins off North Carolina and
Virginia as an ideal place to gather this data set. The selection of
this region and the design of the seismic study were guided by input
from the US scientific community through workshops and online
forums. A large group of scientists are spear-heading the effort to
collect and disseminate these data. The data are open to public and
are useful for studying a large range of fundamental geological
processes. The project also involved a large training and outreach
component, bringing students and young scientists to sea and holding
short training courses and workshops.<br>
