项目摘要

Dr. Vodacek of the Rochester Institute of Technology will convene a 3-day multidisciplinary workshop in Rwanda for US, African, and European participants designed to develop and enhance understanding of tropical lake systems with emphasis on the gas-charged, tectonically active Kivu rift system. The intent is to integrate data sets and experiences to 1) determine the stability of the main and smaller fault-bounded basins of Lake Kivu and their response to methane mining; 2) evaluate the time and length scales of seismic and volcanic hazards; 3) integrate the sedimentological and tectonic records to deconvolve the tectonic and climatic history of Western rift lakes; and 4) assess the impacts of human activities on the Lake Kivu and its dynamics. Key foreign collaborators are Nicolas d?Oreye (European Centre for Geodynamics and Seismology), Alfred Wüest, (EAWAG), and Crispin Kinabo (University of Dar es Salaam). The foreign collaborators all work actively in the Western rift region and will serve as session chairs and help organize European and African invitee lists.Intellectual Merit: Tropical lakes in the East African rift system preserve a long record of tectonic and climate change and record the environment of hominid evolution. The deep, anoxic lakes of the Western rift system appear stable, yet, the geological record reveals a complex interplay between periodic overturn in response to faulting, volcanism and volcanic degassing, and climate change. The Lake Kivu system is particularly precarious, in that dissolved gas levels are dangerously high within the deep waters of the lake and periods of volcanic and tectonic unrest could lead to destabilization. Previous reconnaissance studies of the volcanically and seismically active Lake Kivu system have identified the fundamental components of the fragile lake system, but data are too few and unevenly distributed in space and time to evaluate the relative importance of hydrological, tectonic, climatic, and recent human impacts. Focused studies after the Lake Nyos (Cameroon) overturn disaster, and the 2002 Nyiragongo volcanic eruption highlighted the complex interplay between regional development and geological hazards. The limited geographic scope and focus of these limnological, geophysical, and sedimentological studies, however, raise as many questions as the data answer. An integrated, multi-disciplinary examination of the Lake Kivu system, its tectonic processes, and its future is required to answer these important questions.Broader impacts: The primary aims of the meeting are to link the diverse communities, and to build a strong network for multi-disciplinary research with a truly international team. The workshop aims to forge strong links with the energy sector within Rwanda, and to invite exploration teams to the workshop. The goals of the workshop are to establish a new initiative for cooperation in East Africa and to design programs to comprehensively evaluate and monitor the stability of the Lake Kivu system within its seismically and volcanically active tectonic setting. Each of the US, African and European PI?s have made field visits to the rift, and it is felt a meeting in Rwanda is essential to communicate hazards, to inform stakeholders, and to build support for expanded monitoring.
罗切斯特理工学院的 Vodacek 博士将在卢旺达为美国、非洲和欧洲的参与者举办为期 3 天的多学科研讨会,旨在发展和加强对热带湖泊系统的了解,重点关注充满气体、构造活跃的基伍裂谷系统目的是整合数据集和经验,以 1) 确定基伍湖主要和较小断层盆地的稳定性及其对甲烷开采的响应;2) 评估时间和影响。地震和火山灾害的长度尺度;3)整合沉积学和构造记录,以解卷积西部裂谷湖的构造和气候历史;4)评估人类活动对基伍湖及其动态的影响。 d?Oreye(欧洲地球动力学和地震学中心)、Alfred Wüest(EAWAG)和 Crispin Kinabo(大学)达累斯萨拉姆的)外国合作者都在西部裂谷地区积极工作,并将担任会议主席并帮助组织欧洲和非洲受邀者名单。智力优点:东非裂谷系统中的热带湖泊保留了长期的构造和地质记录。气候变化并记录了原始人类进化的环境,西部裂谷系统的深缺氧湖泊看起来很稳定,然而,地质记录揭示了周期性翻转之间复杂的相互作用。断层活动、火山活动和火山脱气以及气候变化使得基伍湖系统尤其不稳定,因为该湖深水中的溶解气体含量非常高,火山和构造的动荡时期可能会导致之前的勘探研究不稳定。火山和地震活跃的基伍湖系统已经确定了脆弱湖泊系统的基本组成部分,但数据太少且在空间和时间上分布不均匀,无法评估尼奥斯湖(喀麦隆)翻覆灾难和 2002 年尼拉贡戈火山喷发后,水文、构造、气候和近期人类影响的相对重要性突出显示了区域发展与地质灾害之间复杂的相互作用。然而,这些湖泊学、地球物理和沉积学研究提出的问题与数据所回答的问题一样多。回答这些重要问题需要系统、其构造过程及其未来。更广泛的影响:会议的主要目标是将不同的社区联系起来,并与真正的国际团队建立一个强大的多学科研究网络。研讨会旨在与卢旺达境内的能源部门建立牢固的联系,并邀请勘探团队参加研讨会。研讨会的目标是制定东非合作新倡议,并设计全面评估和监测稳定性的方案。基伍湖系统的美国、非洲和欧洲的每一位研究人员都对裂谷进行了实地考察,他们认为在卢旺达举行的会议对于传达危险、向利益相关者通报情况以及为扩大规模提供支持至关重要。监控。
