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请求资助，以升级阿拉斯加库克湾圣奥古斯丁火山上的阿拉斯加大学地球物理研究所操作的远程地球物理现场站。仪器升级将包括倾斜仪，三分量（EW， NS和垂直）地震仪，以及用于遥测地震和倾斜数据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，它的爆发和相关的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、主要的渔业和海上石油生产平台构成威胁。除了能够有效地监测和预警灾害之外，通过设备的部署，系统地获取数据也将使这一重要地区的岩浆迁移和震源得到科学解释，从而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.
