揭开地下秘密的最后一次航行

Tangaroa号研究船已经踏上了研究华卡里/怀特火山和图瓦/马约尔岛火山火山系统的最后一次旅程。这是由GNS Science领导的 “海浪之下” 计划的一部分。目的是更深入地了解潜在火山事件的触发因素、危害和影响,例如落灰、火山碎屑流、山体滑坡和海啸。

来自全球导航卫星系统科学、斯克里普斯海洋学研究所的科学家和两名BLAKE GNS大使将在3月28日至4月12日期间安装200个海底电磁传感器中剩余的39个。这些传感器将提供火山岩浆系统的图像,并确定活跃的热液喷发区域。

全球导航卫星系统科学高级火山地球物理学家兼项目负责人克雷格·米勒表示,之前的航行已经提供了有关过去喷发频率、规模和原因的新信息。早期分析显示,在华卡里西北部有深层流体,可能是岩浆的证据。如果属实,这可能会影响未来对火山的监测。该地区的地震活动可能表明火山活动增加。

海底沉积物样本的初步结果表明,与1800年代以来记录的喷发相比,在过去的几千年中,喷发规模更大。该小组现在想调查这些喷发规模是否足以向大陆输送火山灰。

先前水下调查的数据已经确定了以前的热液活动和活跃的水下热液渗漏的地点。这些发现以及2023年初使用SkyTem系统进行的空中调查,有助于绘制整个火山过去和现在的热液活动地图。这些信息用于创建精确的三维模型,显示岩石变弱的区域以及过去发生滑坡的地方。这至关重要,因为山体滑坡可能引发火山爆发或引发海啸。

克雷格说:“地下成像为强大的数值模拟和模型做出了贡献,我们开始使用这些模拟和模型来评估未来火山事件中丰盛湾的多种可能情景。”“如果我们能够确定这些火山灾害的可能性和影响,我们就能更好地为它们发生做好准备。”

海浪之下计划是一项由全球导航卫星系统主导的计划,由来自不同大学和应急管理组织的合作者共同实施。
