Loihi July, 1996 Seismic Crisis Response

小行星9616913 美国地质调查局夏威夷火山观测台地震阵列于1996年7月16日开始在洛伊希海山探测到地震群，到目前为止，已记录到2000多次地震。这是夏威夷火山有史以来最强烈的地震群。预计这群昆虫 由于火山活动的伴随，该项目将使用夏威夷大学的研究船KOK和双鱼座潜水器。 将重新测量海山的水深，对海山上的水进行取样，以确定任何喷发活动的位置，如果安全考虑允许，还将采集岩石样本。

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.
