Image Of the Day caption:
A team on R/V Atlantis that included WHOI scientist Jeff McGuire recently deployed one of nine bottom moorings as part of a seafloor monitoring system off of Iquique, Chile. The goal of the system is to detect the accumulation strain in a region of the seafloor where a large earthquake is expected to occur based on historical records. The system will remain on the seafloor for about two to three years and is part of a larger experiment with the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Germany and the Universidad de Chile to study the state of stress on the fault.
