The Principal Investigator has conducted a reconnaissance, land-based seismic experiment designed to address questions about whether a mantle plume is associated with the Galapagos hotspot, whether the plume penetrates the mantle transition zone, the location of the hotspot/plume, the lateral dimensions of the hotspot/plume, and the form of hotspot-lithosphere interaction. The present project will thoroughly analyze the seismic data, publish the results, and support scientific and educational collaborations with the Instituto Geofisico, Escuela Politecnica Nacional, Quito, and the Charles Darwin Research Station, Puerto Ayora.

首席研究员进行了一项侦察，陆基地震实验，旨在解决有关地幔羽是否与Galapagos热点相关的问题，即羽流是否穿透了地幔/羽流的位置，热点/羽流/羽流的侧面尺寸，热点/羽流的横向尺寸，热点/羽流的横向尺寸。 本项目将彻底分析地震数据，发布结果，并支持与Geofisico，Escuela Politecnica Nacional，Quito和Puerto Ayora的Charles Darwin研究站的科学和教育合作。
