Almost two decades after planning the initial Endeavour instrument complement and their locations, and a subsequent phase that improved the capabilities, we are now witnessing increased seismic activity, which requires planning for a rapid response to events and to re-imagine the technology at Endeavour. ONC welcomes the scientific community, including early career researchers, to contribute to planning the next decade of observations at Endeavour.
In particular, we encourage new ideas that make use of advanced instrumentation (such as Distributed Acoustic or Temperature Sensing, quantum instruments, in-situ autonomous eDNA samplers and sequencers, etc.). In addition, we want to consider combined or correlated observations of the broader spreading centre, including the sedimented Middle Valley site, where ONC is considering the completion of node installation.
