Motivation
This two day workshop will consider the future of the Amphibious Array of onshore and ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS’s) currently deployed as the Cascadia Initiative. The workshop will have two primary goals:
The first goal will be achieved through emphasis on technical or logistical reports that assess the current operations and instrumentation of the Amphibious Array, addressing issues such as instrument performance and data quality, the performance of OBS’s deployed in shallow waters, and integration of on-land with offshore operations. Understanding this performance will be needed to help define the scope of future deployments. The second goal will be achieved through a series of community recommendations to emerge for future deployments, considering critical scientific targets at a variety of scales and durations. Planning will focus on the EarthScope footprint and the period through 2018, although longer-term plans will be discussed.
Abstracts and White Papers
Community contributions will form a critical aspect of the workshop discussions. If you plan to put forward either an abstract or white paper, then please register and submit an abstract by Tuesday, September 9 or a white paper by Tuesday, September 16.
Registration and Travel Support
Considerable travel support is available to enable attendance for this workshop. To be eligible, please register by Tuesday, September 9 and indicate your needed level of funding. All other registrations close on Tuesday, September 30.
For Students and Post-Docs
There is a special pre-workshop event on the evening of Wednesday, October 22. Students and post-docs requesting support should plan to attend this program.

Snowbird Resort is located in the Wasatch Mountains about 30 miles from Salt Lake City. The meeting, any hosted meals and sleeping rooms will be at the Snowbird Cliff Lodge. For more detailed information on the hotel and meetings at Snowbird, visit www.snowbirdmeetings.com.
Support for Attendees
Funding from NSF is expected to cover a significant portion of travel and accommodation costs for approximately 86 participants (including 16 students) with a diversity of interests, including limited funds for international attendees. Registrants are asked to include a brief statement of interest and anticipated contribution to the workshop. Those requesting funds should register by Tuesday, September 9 and will be notified of funding decisions within two weeks.
Housing Reservations
A block of rooms are available at the Cliff Lodge. To reserve a room, call Snowbird Central Reservations at 1-800-453-3000 and reference IRIS. The group rate offered is $132/night, inclusive of taxes and fees. A one night deposit will be charged at the time of booking.
Please call for your room reservation before midnight on October 7 to guarantee a room at the group rate.
Note: Travel support applicants should not book a hotel reservation until you have been notified of your application status. Lodging reservations and costs will be arranged on behalf of supported attendees.
Transportation from Salt Lake City International Airport (Airport Shuttle Service)
Canyon Transportation (1-800-453-3000), located in the baggage claim area adjacent to the carousels, offers round trip airport transfers from Salt Lake City International Airport to Snowbird. Typically the vans depart for Snowbird about every 30-45 minutes. The round trip fare per person is $72. The trip takes from 45 minutes to one hour. Reconfirm your return reservation at Guest Services in Cliff Lodge at least 24 hours prior to your departure.
48 hours notice is required for all ground transportation cancellations.
