  8. Status • Mostly: Salary for IS management team • Note: some are fractionally supported from other awards (USArray, Polar, GLISN, etc.) • Small amounts for travel, M&S, Pubs & Printing • Revised downwards from previous projections • Mostly due to lower than expected salary for Fowler • Delayed hiring (all planned hiring now complete) • Note that this will change substantially for FY14-18 due to inclusion of full salaries

  9. Instrumentation Services: FY14-18 IRIS CoCom Meeting Chicago April 9-10, 2012

  10. WBS 3.1 – IS Management • Same structure as at present • Salaries, travel, M&S, Pubs and printing • Salaries will include 100% of IS managers • Some fine tuning of this required

  11. WBS 3.1.7 - Magnetotellurics • Scoped a slightly more ambitious plan than asked • Should achieve three significant “footprints” • Proposed structure and activities are essentially the same as today • But – may need to trade some field work against buying replacement equipment • No sensors replaced in nine years (running the same 20 instruments the whole time)

  12. WBS 3.1.7 – Magnetotellurics – New Initiatives • Presented two concepts for new initiatives at last BoD meeting • Full-48 • Expanding the MT TA to cover the full 70 x 70 km grid in the lower 48 • Cost: ~ double the base MT budget (additional ~$600-700K / year) • Prototype Alaska transect • A road-based transect of up to MTsite in Alaska • Setting stage for post-2018 MT activities • Cost: ~$150-170K / year • BoD meeting takeaways • These new initiatives are non-starters
