The investigators plan to develop a new Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) for seafloor geodetic surveys that would be faster, simpler to deploy, and allow for precise positioning. This will enable the capture of transient subduction zone slip processes, including slow slip events (SSEs). SSEs are earthquakes that happen…
