SAGE Award First Year Budget FY14

SAGE Award Second Year Budget FY14 As per BoD’s guidance to plan for a flat budget, and based on the FY14 actual spending.

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

Program Status – 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 Sustainability/Longevity of equipment pool Sustainability of facilities expertise (NMT and UTEP) –Communicating program change in scope to the community members –Need to continue seeking program opportunities

Program Status Governance Objective/Goals –Governance of IRIS PASSCAL Program, with joint oversight of IRIS Polar Support Services Progress to Date/Status –PASC has redefined what it means to be awesome! Planned activities and spending through 9/30/14 –Fall 2013 PASC meeting, Socorro, NM –Instrumentation subcommittee –Strategic Plan Issues for CoCom/Board 1)Address the state-of-health of the PASSCAL instrumentation pool through assessing overall robustness of the pool, understanding reasons for recent equipment failures in the field, and working with the PASSCAL PM, the PIC, and the BoD to identify short- and long-term strategies for revitalizing the pool. 2)Engage with the PIC, PASSCAL PM, and the BoD on how to best adjust PASSCAL service levels to accommodate reduced budgets. 3)Work with PIC staff and the PASSCAL PM to develop strategies for communicating with PIs about any adjusted service levels. 4)Assist the PASSCAL PM in determining the best way to manage the nascent Active Source facility. 5)Engage with the PI community to gauge desired PASSCAL capabilities (e.g., “Where should PASSCAL be in 2018?”). 6)Work with the PASSCAL PM and PIC over the next 1-2 years to develop strategic/revitalization plans for the PASSCAL program.

Program Status 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 On schedule On budget Planned activities and spending through 9/30/14 –Provide support for current schedule –Working with Sustainability WG to recommend program prioritization measures –Ongoing IRIS mission support Issues for CoCom/Board –Sustainability of equipment pool and facility expertise –Finding the balance between scope and budget –Communicating any changes in scope to community and NSF –NMT Unable to support UTEP Texans at PIC Resolution of data policy Update to program policies –UTEP Recruiting and retaining shooters –Exam and demonstrated experience makes this difficult, looking for suggestions.

PASSCAL : Organization and HR Status Program organization –Portable Seismology NMT (PIC) UTEP Identify FTE budgeted vs. FTE on board –Portable Core: UTEP fully staffed, NMT 1 open position Discuss open positions –Sensor repair technician

Program Impact Statements Impacts on science of level funding throughout SAGE

Proposed SAGE Metrics SAGE Perf. Mgt. Plan with targets to be proposed by 9/30/14 Pre-SAGE Performance Targets: –GSN/DMS - data availability > 80% –TA - data availability > 85% –EPO - annual number of unique monthly visitors to IRIS website > 6,000,000 –PASSCAL - annual subscription rate of the non-polar broadband sensors in the PASSCAL pool > 80% –IDS - secure at least 3 in-kind or financial sources of support to leverage core IRIS NSF funding for international engagement –Polar – annual subscription rate of the polar broadband sensors in the PASSCAL pool will be at least 80%

Other than SAGE Award Status Briefly summarize status of other than SAGE awards that you lead – technical status, funding to date, prognosis –Caltech/NASA –CCLI –RESESS –REU –Chile MRI –OBSIP –Anything else we missed

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 –Meeting with community –Requirements document under review

Summary and Conclusions CoCom/Board issues/awareness

Poker Flat Update Direct Burial testing of broadband sensors –Trillium 120 (vaults) and Trillium 120PH (DB) Installed summer 2013 Initial results shown at AGU –DB compares favorably to PASSCAL vaults Demobilization planned for late 2014

Sweetwater Array Collaborative project between NodalSeismic, Nanometrics, and IRIS PASSCAL Mix-Phase Array utilizing the continuous record of a 3D nodal survey, with 25 broadband systems provided by PASSCAL and Nanometrics. –45 days of continuous record –Currently running Vibroseis daylight only –Technology transfer between groups –All data to be archive at the DMC Demobilizing in May.
