My trip to Stromboli
Volcano in September of 2002 was the very first deployment of MTU’s mini-DOAS system. A team of scientists (from University of Hawai’i, University of Firenze,
Open University
and Michigan Technological University) gathered
there for one week measuring several different parameters, including seismic,
thermal, infrasound, gravity, and SO2 emissions. This trip allowed for the very first
measurements of volcanic gases by our mini-DOAS and was set-up side-by-side
with another miniature gas monitoring system, known as FLYSPEC. From this field excursion, we expect to be
able to cross-correlate the two instruments for comparison purposes. The data will also be used in my PhD
research, which is focused on the correlation of several different data sets
in order to gain a better understanding of the eruptive and conduit processes
at several volcanic systems. I have
plans to return to Stromboli Volcano in June of 2004.
