Searching for Faults From Afar

For our project, the R/V Marcus G. Langseth is towing a 12-kilometer-long hydrophone streamer that records sound reflected from deep below the seafloor , which is helping scientists image the structure of the Cascadia Subduction Zone and megathrust fault. The streamer records data as a function of the time it takes for sound to travel from the ship’s source down to “reflectors”
