Facility Support for the CALIPSO Borehole Observatory, Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat

0523097mattioli2005 -2006年期间，这笔赠款支持在夏威夷州蒙特塞拉特的CALIPSO钻孔设施（加勒比安山岩熔岩岛精密地震大地测量观测站）的运营和维护。CALIPSO项目最初由大陆动力学（CD）项目资助，由地球科学部(EAR)/仪器和设施部（领导Voight/Penn State EAR-0116826）共同支持，旨在研究Soufriere Hills火山（SHV）活跃的安山岩岩浆系统的动力学。该项目于2002年启动，在SHV周围钻探和安装了四个高灵敏度钻孔地震和地面变形（应变计，倾斜仪，cGPS）站。所有四个CALIPSO装置都在2004年完成，并且在蒙特塞拉特岛上恢复了仪器数据，包括2003年巨大的熔岩穹丘崩塌（历史上世界上最大的）和2003年和2004年爆炸的数据。对CALIPSO的持续支持将允许CALIPSO井眼和CGPS数据的不间断采集和存档，以及井眼和地面传感器之间的硬件和软件接口的完成和增强，以确保通过Monserrat火山观测站（MVO）进行实时监测的无缝数据采集。来自CALIPSO设施的数据在物理火山学方面是前所未有的，将为活跃岩浆房内与过程相关的深层动力学提供新的见解。实时数据也将有助于制定改进的减轻火山灾害战略。阿肯色州、宾夕法尼亚州立大学和杜克大学的研究生和本科生将接触到最前沿的科学项目和最先进的大地测量和地震技术

0523097MattioliThis grant supports operation and maintenance of the CALIPSO Borehole Facility (Caribbean Andesitic Lava Island Precision Seismo-geodetic Observatory) on Montserrat, WI for the period 2005-2006. The CALIPSO project, a collaborative originally funded through a Continental Dynamics (CD) program grant with co-support from the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR)/Instrumentation and Facilities (lead Voight/Penn State EAR-0116826), aims to investigate the dynamics of the active andesitic magmatic system of Soufriere Hills Volcano (SHV). The project was initiated in 2002 with drilling and installation of four high-sensitivity borehole seismic and ground deformation (strainmeter, tiltmeter, cGPS) stations around SHV. All four CALIPSO installations were completed by 2004, and instrumental data have been recovered on Montserrat, including those from a prodigious lava dome collapse (historically the world's largest) in 2003, and explosions in 2003 and 2004. Continued support for CALIPSO will allow uninterrupted acquisition and archival of CALIPSO borehole and CGPS data as well as completion and enhancement of the hardware and software interface between the borehole and surface sensors to ensure seamless data acquisition for real-time monitoring through the Monserrat Volcano Observatory (MVO). Data from the CALIPSO facility is unprecedented in physical volcanology and will offer new insights into the deep dynamics related to processes acting within an active magma chamber. The real-time data will also be useful in developing improved volcanic hazard mitigation strategies. Graduate and undergraduate students at Arkansas, Penn State and Duke will be exposed to a leading edge science program and state-of-the-art geodetic and seismic technologies.***
