Abstract:
The International Mt Erebus Seismic Survey (IMESS) was conducted on Mt Erebus to monitor and assess the seismic activity of the volcano year round. Seismic, infrasonic and magnetic induction data were telemetered and recorded continuously at Scott Base. A figure eight cable was installed around the main crater on the Mt Erebus summit and the area called 'Camp Flow' to record electromagnetic ... impulses generated by the lava column which would be transmitted together with the data from a permanent seismometer and microphone at the Main Crater back to Scott Base where is would be recorded. Near surface seismic velocities and earthquake frequencies were determined using infrasonic and magnetic sensors, electromagnetic surveys, telemetry seismographs and lava lake surveillance and probes to determine earthquake size vs frequency of occurrence. The summit was occupied to observe crater activity and monitor and repair equipment. The principle objective was the location of earthquake foci but statistics of occurrence, tidal effects, spectra, energy and time and amplitude relationships between different types of data for both earthquakes and eruptions was also studied. The study was terminated in 1986.
Description:
The relevant seismic and magnetic induction data and some of the infrasonic data, and tapes for 1981-1990 are to be transfered to this database
Quality
The international investigation of the Mt Erebus crater included investigations from several different scientists and organisations (Victoria University of Wellington, NSF and NIPR).
All the seismic and magnetic induction data and some of the infrasonic data, and tapes for 1981-1990 (480 10 channel analog) are held at:
GNS Science Wairakei Research Centre ... Private Bag 2000 Taupo 3352 New Zealand.
