Gravimetry survey of the Mount Meager volcanic complex using a MEMs gravimeter

重力法是一种重要的地球物理方法，通过探测质量和/或密度变化来遥感地下地质结构和系统。应用包括学术和工业。目前，重力测量使用的传感器非常敏感，但也很笨重和昂贵。这两种规格都使重力研究成本高昂，而且实际上非常困难，特别是对航空测量而言。一种名为Wee-g的新型微型重力传感器已经在格拉斯哥开发出来，它足够小，可以在无人机等更广泛的调查技术上使用。该研究项目的两个主要目标是在蒂尼火山复合体周围进行空间重力测量，并持续监测附近柯里火山的滑坡。这两项调查将为我们提供对每个站点周围结构和活动的新见解，并在这种极端环境中测试Wee-g的用例。1998年在加拿大开展的工作将作为正在进行的自然灾害监测和社区外联方案的一部分进行，以使加拿大第一民族参与灾害监测。

Gravimetry is an important geophysical method for remote sensing of sub-surface geological structures and systems via detection of mass and/or density changes. Applications are both academic and industrial. Currently, gravimetry surveys are carried out using sensors that are very sensitive, but also heavy and expensive. Both specifications make gravimetric studies expensive and practically very difficult, especially for airborne surveys. A new miniature gravity sensor called Wee-g has been developed in Glasgow which is small enough to enable a wider range of survey techniques such as on drones. The two primary objectives of the research project will be to carry out a spatial gravimetry survey around the Mount Meager Volcanic Complex and continuous monitoring of the nearby landslides at Mount Currie. Both surveys will provide us with new insight into the structures and activity around each site, and also test the use case of Wee-g in such extreme environments. The work carried out in Canada in will be carried out as part of on-going natural hazards monitoring and a community outreach programme to involve First Nation Canadians in hazard monitoring.
