Loihi July, 1996 Seismic Crisis Response

9616913杜恩内比尔美国地质调查局夏威夷火山观测站地震台阵在洛伊希海山探测到的震群于1996年7月16日开始，目前已记录到2,000多次地震。这是有记录以来夏威夷火山发生的最强烈的地震群。预计这一群体会伴随着火山活动，该项目将使用夏威夷大学的科克和双鱼座潜水器。将重新测量海山的水深，对海山上空的水进行采样，以确定任何喷发活动的位置，并在安全考虑允许的情况下，获取岩石样本。

9616913 Duennebier A Seismic swarm at Loihi seamount detected by the US Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory seismic array began on 16 July 1996 and, at this time, over 2000 earthquakes have bee recorded. This is the most intense swarm of earthquakes ever recorded from any Hawaiian volcano. Anticipating that this swarm is accompanied by volcanic activity, this project will use the University of Hawaii research vessel KOK and Pisces submersible. the bathymetry of the seamount will be resurveyed, the water over the seamount will be sampled to locate any eruptive activity, and, if safety considerations allow, rock samples obtained.
