data Science objective: Monitor the
response of the outer
accretionary wedge up-dip from
the zone of greatest slip during
the Feb. 27 2010 Maule
earthquake and characterize the
structure in this region.

Logistical objective:
Deploy 10 broadband OBSs with
integrated flow meters and
acquire high resolution seismic
reflection data.
