Equipment Upgrade for the University of Alaska's Remote Field Stations on Mt. St. Augustine Volcano

这项设备提案的目的是申请资金，以升级阿拉斯加大学地球物理研究所在芒特山上运营的偏远地球物理野外站。阿拉斯加库克湾的圣奥古斯丁火山。仪器升级将包括倾斜仪、三分量(东西向、南北向和垂直)地震仪，以及将地震和倾斜数据遥测到费尔班克斯地球物理研究所的无线电连接。圣奥古斯丁是一座活火山，其爆炸性喷发和相关海啸对安克雷奇的主要人口中心、附近的国际空中交通通道、一个主要的渔业和海上石油生产钻井平台构成了威胁。除了能够对灾害进行有效的监测和预警外，通过部署该设备能够系统地获取数据，还将能够对这一重要地区的岩浆迁移和地震源进行科学解释，以了解板块构造的机制。

The object of this equipment proposal is to request funding for upgrading the remote geophysical field stations operated by the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska on Mt. St. Augustine volcano in Cook Inlet, Alaska. The instrument upgrade will consist of tiltmeters, 3-component (EW, NS and vertical) seismometers, and radio linkage for telemetering the seismic and tilt data to the Geophysical Institute in Fairbanks. St. Augustine is an active volcano whose explosive eruptions and related tsunamis pose a threat to the major population center of Anchorage, nearby international air traffic lanes, a major fishing industry and to off-shore petroleum production rigs. In addition to enabling efficient monitoring and warning against hazards, the systematic acquisition of data made possible by the deployment of the equipment will also allow a scientific interpretation of magma migration and earthquake sources in this important area for understanding the mechanisms of plate tectonics.
