Analysis of Volcanic Seismic Events from Kilauea Recorded byan Array of 90 Digital Seismographs

这个项目的重点是一个独特的地震数据集，由美国国家科学基金会早先的一笔赠款资助，来自1988年夏威夷基拉韦厄火山喷发阶段的中东裂谷地带。对这些数据的初步分析揭示了一些与气体和岩浆相互作用有关的复杂信号。拟议的项目是通过尝试实际地纳入岩浆中气泡的影响来扩展早期对共振模型的研究。这项研究有助于对火山喷发物理学的基本认识，因此是对火山灾害研究的基础性贡献。

This project focuses on a unique seismic data set, funded under an earlier NSF grant, from the middle east rift zone of Kilauea volcano in Hawaii during an eruptive phase in 1988. Preliminary analysis of these data reveals a number of complex signals related to gas and magma interaction. The proposed project is to extend earlier research on resonance models by attempting to realistically incorporate the effects of bubbles in magma. This research has application to the basic understanding of the physics of volcanic eruption and is therefore a fundamental contribution to the study of volcanic hazards.
