Gas flux cyclic regime at an open vent magmatic column inferred from seismic and acoustic records.

ABSTRACT: On August 7, 2014, a new effusive vent opened on the northern flank of Stromboli. A characteristic pattern was observed in both seismic and infrasonic signal amplitudes prior to this effusive eruption. The pattern consisted of the repeating cycle: (1) quiet phase, (2) puffing phase, and (3) explosion phase. Correlation between seismic and infrasound signal suggests that pulses in the puffing phase were caused by repetitive bursts of small gas pockets at the central crater, while the explosion phase coincided with an explosion at the central crater. We show that degassing of the magma column occurred in cycles of increasing gas flux, which controlled the transition from a bubbly flow (puffing phase), to a slug flow (explosion phase) gas regime. The quiet phase was characterized by a constant time length of 150 s, indicating that the gas rose in the magma column as well-organized waves of gas layers. These cycles represent cyclic changes of the gas flux regime in the shallow magma column, associated with increases in the magma-gas supply input rate before the effusive eruption.

Metamorphic records of multiple seismic cycles during subduction.

Project description:Large earthquakes occur in rocks undergoing high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphism during subduction. Rhythmic major-element zoning in garnet is a common product of such metamorphism, and one that must record a fundamental subduction process. We argue that rhythmic major-element zoning in subduction zone garnets from the Franciscan Complex, California, developed in response to growth-dissolution cycles driven by pressure pulses. Using electron probe microanalysis and novel techniques in Raman and synchrotron Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy, we demonstrate that at least four such pressure pulses, of magnitude 100-350 MPa, occurred over less than 300,000 years. These pressure magnitude and time scale constraints are most consistent with the garnet zoning having resulted from periodic overpressure development-dissipation cycles, related to pore-fluid pressure fluctuations linked to earthquake cycles. This study demonstrates that some metamorphic reactions can track individual earthquake cycles and thereby opens new avenues to the study of seismicity.

Magmatic history of the Oldest Toba Tuff inferred from zircon U-Pb geochronology.

Project description:The magmatic history of the Oldest Toba Tuff (OTT), the second largest in volume after the Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT), northern Sumatra, Indonesia, was investigated using U-Pb zircon dating by LA-ICP-MS. Zircon dates obtained from surface and interior sections yielded ages of 0.84 ± 0.03 Ma and 0.97 ± 0.03 Ma, respectively. The youngest OTT zircon ages were in accordance with the 40Ar/39Ar eruption age of ~ 0.8 Ma, whereas the oldest zircon dates were ~ 1.20 Ma. Therefore, the distribution of zircon U-Pb ages is interpreted to reflect protracted zircon crystallization, suggesting that the estimated 800-2,300 km3 of OTT magma accumulated and evolved for at least 400,000 years prior to eruption. This result is comparable to the volume and timescales of YTT magmatism. The similarities of both magmatic duration and geochemistry between OTT and YTT may indicate that they are similar in size and that the caldera collapse that generated OTT might be much larger previously interpreted.

Crustal seismic velocity responds to a magmatic intrusion and seasonal loading in Iceland's Northern Volcanic Zone.

Project description:Seismic noise interferometry is an exciting technique for studying volcanoes, providing a continuous measurement of seismic velocity changes (dv/v), which are sensitive to magmatic processes that affect the surrounding crust. However, understanding the exact mechanisms causing changes in dv/v is often difficult. We present dv/v measurements over 10 years in central Iceland, measured using single-station cross-component correlation functions from 51 instruments across a range of frequency bands. We observe a linear correlation between changes in dv/v and volumetric strain at stations in regions of both compression and dilatation associated with the 2014 Bárðarbunga-Holuhraun dike intrusion. Furthermore, a clear seasonal cycle in dv/v is modeled as resulting from elastic and poroelastic responses to changing snow thickness, atmospheric pressure, and groundwater level. This study comprehensively explains variations in dv/v arising from diverse crustal stresses and highlights the importance of deformation modeling when interpreting dv/v, with implications for volcano and environmental monitoring worldwide.

Acoustic tweezers via sub-time-of-flight regime surface acoustic waves.

Project description:Micrometer-scale acoustic waves are highly useful for refined optomechanical and acoustofluidic manipulation, where these fields are spatially localized along the transducer aperture but not along the acoustic propagation direction. In the case of acoustic tweezers, such a conventional acoustic standing wave results in particle and cell patterning across the entire width of a microfluidic channel, preventing selective trapping. We demonstrate the use of nanosecond-scale pulsed surface acoustic waves (SAWs) with a pulse period that is less than the time of flight between opposing transducers to generate localized time-averaged patterning regions while using conventional electrode structures. These nodal positions can be readily and arbitrarily positioned in two dimensions and within the patterning region itself through the imposition of pulse delays, frequency modulation, and phase shifts. This straightforward concept adds new spatial dimensions to which acoustic fields can be localized in SAW applications in a manner analogous to optical tweezers, including spatially selective acoustic tweezers and optical waveguides.

Magmatic overpressures, volatile exsolution and potential explosivity of fissure eruptions inferred via dike aspect ratios.

Project description:Buoyant magmas abundant in exsolved volatiles (bubbles) drive the rapid upward-propagation of feeder dikes from magma chambers. The consequence of a feeder dike reaching the surface can result in an explosive volcanic eruption depending, partly, on the retention of volatiles. Therefore, timely detection of the vesicularity and overpressure of the magma during feeder dike ascent is critical for the prediction of the explosivity of any future eruption. In this study, we evaluated the explosivity of eruptions based on field investigations of the erupted products and the overpressure of magma in the conduit based on the dimensions of exposed feeder dikes. We found a positive correlation between the explosivity of eruptions and the magma overpressure generated in the conduit during recent fissure eruptions of Miyakejima volcano. Because the buoyancy of low-density magma produces positive overpressure at the dike's top, feeder dikes with highly-vesiculated magmas possess high amounts of overpressure. An enlargement of the opening width of a feeder dike by magmatic overpressure results in a higher flux of vesiculated magma, which causes vigorous explosive activity. Our results suggest the possibility of forecasting the explosivity of an impending eruption if the width (or opening) of an ascending feeder dike is monitored in real-time through measurements of ground deformation and seismicity induced by the dike.

Seismic behavior and force-displacement characterization of neotype column-slab high piers.

Project description:The seismic behavior and plasticity spreading of a neotype column-slab high pier are researched in this paper. Four scale model tests of a web slab with two boundary columns are carried out under cyclic inelastic lateral displacements simulating seismic response. The test results show that the neotype column-slab high pier has strong and stable bearing capacity, good ductility, and energy dissipation capacity. The experimental values pertaining to the spread of plasticity are derived. An approach for deriving the spread of plasticity analytically is deduced and applied to the four tests. This method accurately assesses a pier's spread of plasticity for most ductility levels. At nearly all ductility levels, the mean difference between analytical assessments of the spread of plasticity and results from 4 large-scale tests is 12% with a 9% coefficient of variation.

Breathing of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano reservoir, Colombia, inferred from repeated seismic tomography.

Project description:Nevado del Ruiz volcano (NRV), Columbia, is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world and caused the death of 25,000 people in 1985. Using a new algorithm for repeated tomography, we have found a prominent seismic anomaly with high values of the Vp/Vs ratio at depths of 2-5 km below the surface, which is associated with a shallow magma reservoir. The amplitude and shape of this anomaly changed during the current phase of unrest which began in 2010. We interpret these changes as due to the ascent of gas bubbles through magma and to degassing of the reservoir. In 2011-2014, most of this gas escaped through permeable roof rocks, feeding surface fumarole activity and leading to a gradual decrease of the Vp/Vs ratio in the reservoir. This trend was reversed in 2015-2016 due to replenishment of the reservoir by a new batch of volatile-rich magma likely to sustain further volcanic activity. It is argued that the recurring "breathing" of the shallow reservoir is the main cause of current eruptions at NRV.

Disease Heritability Inferred from Familial Relationships Reported in Medical Records.

Project description:Heritability is essential for understanding the biological causes of disease but requires laborious patient recruitment and phenotype ascertainment. Electronic health records (EHRs) passively capture a wide range of clinically relevant data and provide a resource for studying the heritability of traits that are not typically accessible. EHRs contain next-of-kin information collected via patient emergency contact forms, but until now, these data have gone unused in research. We mined emergency contact data at three academic medical centers and identified 7.4 million familial relationships while maintaining patient privacy. Identified relationships were consistent with genetically derived relatedness. We used EHR data to compute heritability estimates for 500 disease phenotypes. Overall, estimates were consistent with the literature and between sites. Inconsistencies were indicative of limitations and opportunities unique to EHR research. These analyses provide a validation of the use of EHRs for genetics and disease research.

Seep-carbonate lamination controlled by cyclic particle flux.

Project description:Authigenic carbonate build-ups develop at seafloor methane-seeps, where microbially mediated sulphate-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane facilitates carbonate precipitation. Despite being valuable recorders of past methane seepage events, their role as archives of atmospheric processes has not been examined. Here we show that cyclic sedimentation pulses related to the Indian monsoon in concert with authigenic precipitation of methane-derived aragonite gave rise to a well-laminated carbonate build-up within the oxygen minimum zone off Pakistan (northern Arabian Sea). U-Th dating indicates that the build-up grew during past ~1,130 years, creating an exceptional high-resolution archive of the Indian monsoon system. Monsoon-controlled formation of seep-carbonates extends the known environmental processes recorded by seep-carbonates, revealing a new relationship between atmospheric and seafloor processes.

Dataset for boiling acoustic emissions: A tool for data driven boiling regime prediction.

Project description:Boiling is used for the thermal management of high-energy-density devices and systems. However, sudden thermal runaway at boiling crisis often results in catastrophic failures. Machine learning is a promising tool for in-situ monitoring of boiling-based systems for preemptive control of boiling crisis. A carefully acquired and well-labeled dataset is a primary requirement for utilizing any data-driven learning framework to extract valuable descriptors. Here, we present a comprehensive dataset of boiling acoustics presented in our recent work [1]. We collect the audio files through meticulously controlled near-saturated pool boiling experiments under steady-state conditions. To this end, we connect a high-sensitivity hydrophone to a pre-amplifier and a data acquisition unit for accurate and reliable acquisition of acoustic signals. We organize the audio files into four categories as per the respective boiling regimes: background or natural convection (BKG, 2-5W/cm2), nucleate boiling (NB, 8-140W/cm2), excluding those at higher heat flux values preceding the onset of boiling crisis or the critical heat flux (Pre-CHF, ≈145W/cm2), and transition boiling (TB, uncontrolled). Each audio file label provides explicit information about the heat flux value and the experimental conditions. This dataset, consisting of 2056 files for BKG, 13367 files for NB, 399 files for Pre-CHF, and 460 files for TB, serves as the foundation for training and evaluating a deep learning strategy to predict boiling regimes. The dataset also includes acoustic emission data from transient pool boiling experiments conducted with varying heating strategies, heater surface, and boiling fluid modifications, creating a valuable dataset for developing robust data-driven models to predict boiling regimes. We also provide the associated MATLAB® codes used to process and classify these audio files.
