The role of hydrostatic pressure in modulating submarine silicic eruptions

现代海底的勘探揭示了深（大于1000米）的火山爆发的沉积物，但理论预测，在这些深度的爆炸性在很大程度上受到抑制。2012年，有记录以来最大和最深的海底爆炸性喷发发生在1600米深处，也挑战了这一理论。该项目利用了美利坚合众国对火山爆发地点的研究考察。该项目旨在利用尖端技术限制控制爆炸性的物理和化学因素。澳大利亚古老的海底火山蕴藏着极具经济价值的矿藏。该项目旨在提高解释古火山背景的能力，从而提高发现新的矿石存款的潜力。

Exploration on the modern seafloor reveals the deposits of deep (greater than 1 000 metres) silicic explosive eruptions, yet theory predicts that explosivity at these depths is largely suppressed. In 2012 the largest and deepest silicic submarine explosive eruption ever recorded took place at depths up to 1 600 metres, also challenging this theory. This project leverages a United States of America research expedition to the eruption site. This project aims to constrain the physical and chemical factors that control explosivity using cutting-edge technologies. Australia's ancient submarine volcanoes host highly economic ore deposits. This project aims to enhance the ability to interpret ancient volcanic settings, thereby improving the potential for new ore deposit discoveries.
