Chemistry of Lava-seawater Interactions

Abstract

The long term goals of this research are to better understand and identify the chemical and physical effects of submarine volcanic events. This information will be used as a means to identify ongoing submarine eruptions using surface-ocean based water sampling. This information will allow us to constrain the duration, frequency, and the flux of heat and chemicals to the ocean from submarine volcanic eruptions. In addition, this technology will help us understand submarine hydrothermal systems from the nascent point in their evolution.
