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.

首席研究员进行了陆基地震勘察实验，旨在解决地幔柱是否与加拉帕戈斯热点有关、地幔柱是否穿透地幔过渡带、热点/地幔柱的位置、地幔柱的横向尺寸等问题。热点/羽流，以及热点-岩石圈相互作用的形式。 目前的项目将彻底分析地震数据，发布结果，并支持与地理研究所、基多国立理工大学和阿约拉港查尔斯·达尔文研究站的科学和教育合作。
