Dear Vadim,

Nice to hear from you, with some exciting possibilities for 
collaboration!

Our seismic station in New York was deployed on April 27 and has
recorded a few aftershocks. It is presently located 5 km north of the 
April 20 epicentre. Our plan is to relocate the station to the south
shore of Lake Ontario at some point in the next 6-12 months, depending
on how the aftershock sequence falls off.

I took a glance at your sketch for the NSF proposal. It would certainly
seem that the proximity of the U.S. and Canadian stations, at the very
least, will provide a solid basis for achieving scientific objectives
of both groups. Clearly, the Canadian stations will add to the Grenville
and craton components of the picture.

Our Ontario stations will be in place for a period of 3 more years
(minimum) - i.e., until 2005. We will be deploying 8 more stations
this summer to bring our active array up to 18 stations by the Fall
of 2002.

We would be very happy to provide whatever logistical help we can provide 
within our available resources. Lets stay in touch. I have copied my
response to other colleagues working on the Ontario seismic array.
Good luck with your NSF grant.

Cheers,

Dave Eaton
