タイトル：A summary and results from the 2016-2017 submarine eruption of Bogoslof Volcano
アブストラクト：
The 2016-2017 eruption of Bogoslof volcano, a submarine stratovolcano in the Bering Sea, produced 68 significant explosions over 8 months. With no local monitoring data, the eruption was seismically recorded on nearby islands 50-100 km away, limiting the detection and resolution of seismic observations. In this talk I’ll provide a summary of the eruption and how the Alaska Volcano Observatory monitored activity, followed by some scientific results using T-waves to as a proxy earthquake depth to better understand the eruption. We construct a matched filter catalog of 3199 events from 49 earthquake families, many of which occurred with hydroacoustic T waves of varying strength. We then use a 2D finite difference model to show that hydroacoustic amplitudes should decrease with increased source depth beneath the edifice and leverage each family’s seismically recorded T wave amplitude as a proxy for source depth, which we compare to regional infrasound data. This unique combination of using P and S waves to detect events, T waves as a proxy for depth, and infrasound for precise timing of emissions allows us to interpret the dynamics and evolution of the Bogoslof eruption.
