Útdráttur:
This talk will relate my experience during the six weeks field expedition I took part in last summer, studying volcanic emissions of the Vanuatu arc (south Pacific). The Volcano Waka Lab project, led by a New Zealand-based colleague, aims at characterizing the volatile emissions from the Vanuatu arc. Many of these volcanoes, despite being major and long-lived gas emitters, are poorly known, owing to their remoteness and difficult access. The use of a waka, a traditional Polynesian double-hulled canoe, as our mobile volcano laboratory was key to the project. I will describe the project and our field campaign, talking about the challenges, the type of data and samples collected, the logistics, and presenting the five volcanoes we visited.
Öll velkomin!
