9528534 Thomas This award is part of a multi-disciplinary project to drill a 4.5 km hole into the eastern flank of Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii. The primary purpose of the drill hole is to acquire a continuous physical and geochemical record of the growth of a major intraplate hotspot volcano. The PIs are most interested in using this record to constrain the dynamics and nature of mantle plumes and other mantle processes; in addition, the sample set provided by the borehole will also be very valuable to other communities of investigators such as volcanology and paleomagnetism, and the study of the fluids flowing from the borehole will provide information about shield-volcano hydrogeology. ***

9528534托马斯 该合同是在夏威夷莫纳克亚火山东侧钻一个4.5公里长的孔的多学科项目的一部分。 钻孔的主要目的是获得一个主要板内热点火山生长的连续物理和地球化学记录。 研究人员最感兴趣的是利用这些记录来限制地幔柱和其他地幔过程的动力学和性质;此外，钻孔提供的样本集对火山学和古地磁学等其他研究人员也非常有价值，对钻孔流出的流体的研究将提供有关盾状火山水文地质学的信息。 ***
