Aims
The aim of the IMEEMS project is to understand the mechanism of the strombolian eruptions of Erebus Volcano. The present methods are telemetry recordings at Scott Base of seismic, infrasonic, and video data from the volcano, over as great a part of the year as possible, supplemented by short term measurements of volcanic gas output, infrared thermometry of the liquid lava lake, and petrology of the lava being erupted, made during expeditions to the volcano by an international group of cooperating scientists from USA, Japan, and France.
