Title: Mayotte\u2019s submarine volcano: seismicity, tomography, and the future seafloor observatory<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Abstract:<\/p>\n
Mayotte\u2019s submarine volcano system was first identified in 2018 when several earthquakes and very-long-period earthquakes were seen on global seismic networks. The volcano\u2019s presence was later confirmed in February 2019 in a sea campaign called MAYOBS, during which a new volcano edifice was discovered ~40 km offshore Mayotte. There was only 2 land stations on Mayotte at the time of the first MAYOBS campaign. We understood so little of Mayotte\u2019s submarine volcano and the crisis that many more MAYOBS sea campaigns were conducted over a period of 4 years. In total, 23 sea campaigns were conducted to deploy\/recover ocean-bottom seismometers \u2013 an unprecedented number of sea campaigns for an unprecedented submarine volcano eruption. In this talk, I will present a brief summary of seismological studies conducted by myself and the REVOSIMA (Mayotte Seismic and Volcanic Monitoring Network) seismology group: how we detected more 30k events and relocated more than 5,000 of them, the first tomographic image we have of the volcano system, and the future seafloor observatory that will be installed to monitor Mayotte\u2019s submarine volcano in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
