  1. Volcano Seismology & Infrasound Summary Breakout Group Report

  2. Grand Challenges • What is the physical state of volcano plumbing systems and how do they change with time? • What are the physical changes that inform eruption prediction and style of eruption? • Stress changes • % of nonDC component in mechanisms • Why do some intrusions lead to eruption while others do not?

  3. Grand Challenges • View volcanoes as part of a larger system • How do volcanoes and earthquakes interact? (triggering) • How do volcanoes interact with each other? (simultaneous eruptions) • How do volcanoes interact with hydrosphere and atmosphere (infrasound)

  4. What do we need to meet these challenges? • Order of magnitude increase in instrumentation • Replace existing short-period analog stations with digital broadband • Add instruments to unmonitored volcanoes • Add infrasound sensors and arrays • 4D active source studies • Complementary data (infrasound, video, lightning detection, MT, LIDAR, GPS) with sensors coordinated across disciplines

  5. What do we need to meet these challenges? • Open access to data from all volcano observatories • More people and improved international collaborations. • A USGS volcano hazards external grants program - point to success of NEHRP • Improved interdisciplinary links • Atmosphere • Oceans • Analogue modeling • Geochemistry • Geodesy • Satellite remote sensing
