This project supports research at the Mt. Erebus volcano observatory, Antarctica. Erebus has a lava lake in its summit crater--one of just a few volcanoes in the world with this feature--that offers a unique window into volcanic processes. During previous funding periods a network of monitoring equipment was installed at seven stations around the volcano. These stations measure seismic waves, gas emissions, surface deformation, and other properties of the volcano and lava lake. The measurements offer unique insight into many volcanic processes, most importantly those relevant to eruption and degassing.The broader impacts include graduate student education, development of new research infrastructure, outreach via the world-wide-web and a film, and international and national collaborations. In addition, this work has societally relevant goals that include improving eruption prediction, determining volcanic contributions to the atmosphere, and understanding the dispersal of atmospheric pollutants.

该项目支持南极洲埃里布斯火山天文台的研究。 Erebus在其山顶火山口中有一个熔岩湖，这是世界上只有几个火山的一座熔岩 - 它为火山工艺提供了独特的窗口。在以前的资金期间，在火山周围的七个站点安装了监视设备网络。这些站点测量了地震波，气体排放，表面变形以及火山和熔岩湖的其他特性。这些测量值为许多火山过程提供了独特的见解，最重要的是与喷发和脱气有关。更广泛的影响包括研究生教育，开发新的研究基础设施，通过世界范围的网络以及电影以及一部电影以及国际和国家合作。此外，这项工作具有与社会相关的目标，包括改善喷发预测，确定对大气的火山贡献以及了解大气污染物的分散。
