The PI has discovered a major electric conductivity anomaly             related to a buried half spreading center at the south edge of                  the subducted Gorda Plate.  The geometry of this anomaly shows                  that the motion of the Gorda Plate has been controlled by the                   orientation of the Blanco Fracture Zone and not the Mendocino                   Fracture Zone for at least several My.  More mapping of the                     anomaly will provide further constraints on the plate motions.                  Understanding the detailed structure of the anomaly will provide                insight into how the buried spreading center has produced the                   enormously important geothermal resources of the area and how                   the mechanical system must work.  The anomaly, however, appears                 to be fundamentally 3-D.  It probably involves conduction of                    currents through the otherwise resistive Coast Range, which are                 induced in nearby highly conductive surface structures such as                  the ocean.  A 3-dimensional modeling effort to understand                       various features of the anomaly such as its lack of frequency-                  dependence will be carried out, as will a limited field effort                  to a really extend our array and to provide MT constraints for                  the modeling effort.  These are both a necessary prelude to a                   major field effort designed to image the sturcture in detail                    using an innovative technique such as EMAP (Electro Magnetic                    Array Profiling).
