| Description: | The BANJO and SEDA arrays were deployed as a passive source, broadband, seismic experiment in the central Andean Cordillera of Bolivia and northern Chile. This is an international [multi-institutional] project with participants from the University of Arizona, Carnegie Institution of Washington, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the U.S.A, San Calixto Observatory and the University of Bolivia in La Paz, Bolivia, the University of Chile in Santiago, and ORSTROM, a French research organization. Our scientific objectives are to extend our understanding of the deep structure and tectonics of the central Andean Cordillera and in particular the high Altiplano plateau. Our passive source experiment consisted of an east-west transect called the BANJO (Broadband ANdean JOint) Experiment and a north-south transect called the SEDA (Seismic Exploration of the Deep Altiplano) Experiment. The equipment for the east-west transect was provided by the PASSCAL program of IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology) and the Carnegie Institution of Washington (USA). The equipment for the north-south transect was provided by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (USA). The BANJO experiment consisted of 16 stations that were deployed from April 1994 to September 1995, along an east-west transect at 19! to 20!S and extended from northern Chile across Bolivia to the Chaco Plain. The sixteen stations consisted of Streckeisen STS-2 broadband sensors and Reftek (24 and 16 bit) digital recorders. |
