Session T24 - Recent Submarine Volcano-Tectonic Events Along Western Pacific Island-arcs, Back-arcs, and Subduction Zones
http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/program/scientific_session_search.php?show=detail&sessid=704
Description:
Several regional-scale geologic events have occurred within the last year at the Lau back-arc basin, Tonga volcanic-arc and trench: the 18 March 2009 shallow-water eruption near Tonga, the 29 September 2009 Samoan earthquake (Mw 8.1), and the ongoing, deep-ocean eruption at West Mata volcano. Studies of such recent events provide important information on regional volcano-tectonic perturbations, responses, and timescales, and are foci of the NSF Ridge2000 and Margins programs. We solicit studies from marine geophysics, volcanology, petrology, marine chemistry, and physical oceanography to provide an integrated view of West Pacific upper mantle, ocean crust and water-column processes
