We describe the scientific motivation and deployment strategy for the 2015 Sevilleta Socorro magma body (SMB) mixed‐mode seismic experiment in central New Mexico, U.S.A. The array consisted of seven temporary broadband, 801 short‐period geophones, and seven regional network seismic stations placed within the central Rio Grande rift and above the SMB, one of the largest known mid‐crustal continental magma bodies globally. The array recorded teleseismic, regional, and local earthquakes as well as regional explosions. Current analysis efforts include earthquake detection and location, structural imaging, and velocity model refinement along the segment of the magma body region experiencing the highest uplift rates.
