9316499 Elders This project involves the coordination of the participation of U.S. scientists in an international consortium from New Zealand, Japan and the USA which will carry out shallow research drilling on White Island, which is one of the world's most active, but accessible, andesite volcanoes. White Island is in the Bay of Plenty at the northern extension of the Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand. Unlike other frequently active volcanoes, such as Kilauea and Etna, it is a "wet" system, i.e., its behavior is dominated by the interaction of shallow magma with meteoric water. As this system is highly compressed relative to those found in typical high-relief volcanoes, by drilling to depths of only hundreds of meters on White Island, it will be possible to study and directly sample the interface between an andesite magma and a geothermal system. ***

小行星9316499 该项目涉及协调美国科学家参加一个由新西兰、日本和美国组成的国际联合会，该联合会将在白色岛进行浅层研究钻探，该岛是世界上最活跃但可进入的安山岩火山之一。 白色岛位于新西兰陶波火山带北方延伸的丰盛湾。 不像其他经常活动的火山，如基拉韦厄和埃特纳，它是一个“湿”系统，即，其行为主要受浅部岩浆与大气降水相互作用的控制。 由于该系统相对于典型的高浮雕火山中发现的系统高度压缩，通过在白色岛上钻探到仅数百米的深度，将有可能研究和直接采样安山岩岩浆和地热系统之间的界面。 ***
