POWRE: Real-Time Volcano Monitoring at Kilauea Using the Global Positioning System

小行星9753186 夏威夷岛上的基拉韦厄火山是一个主要的地震和火山灾害。 夏威夷的火山在地质学上也曾引发过巨大的滑坡和海啸，而基拉韦厄的南翼被认为是未来最有可能发生此类灾难的地点。 需要频繁的变形监测，以了解南侧的不稳定性，并提供短期的危险评估。 为此目的，斯坦福大学与美国地质勘探局夏威夷火山观测站合作，在基拉韦厄安装了一个连续运行的全球定位系统网络。 该网络目前测量数据收集后2-10天的变形。 私家侦探将把这个网络扩展成一个实时变形和危险预警系统，这样，在收集数据30分钟内就可以确定厘米级的精度。 她将于1998年夏天访问夏威夷火山观测站，与现场的HVO科学团队一起解决技术问题。 作为斯坦福大学地球物理系的客座教授，她将开发和实施软件系统，并致力于地震和火山变形的建模。

9753186 Larson Kilauea volcano, on the island of Hawaii, presents a major seismic as well as volcanic hazard. Hawaiian volcanoes have also generated mega-landslides and tsunamis in the geologic past, and Kilauea's south flank is considered the most likely site of such a catastrophe in the future. Frequent deformation monitoring is needed to understand south flank instability and to provide short term hazard assessments. Stanford University, in collaboration with the USGS Hawaii Volcano Observatory (HVO), has installed a continuously operating GPS network on Kilauea for this purpose. This network currently measures deformation from 2-10 days after the data are collected. The P.I. will extend this network into a real-time deformation and hazards warning system, such that cm level precisions can be determined within 30 minutes of data collection. She will visit the Hawaii Volcano Observatory in the summer of 1998 to work on technical issues with the onsite HVO science team. As a visiting professor in the Department of Geophysics at Stanford University, she will develop and implement the software system and work on modeling of both seismic and volcanic deformation.
