Keynote Presentation

An Underwater Wired Volcano:  Eruptions, Hot Springs and Life

Dr. Deborah S. Kelley

University of Washington

This presentation focuses on the largest and most active underwater volcano off our coast 'Axial Seamount'. This volcano hosts the worlds' most advanced, instrumented submarine observatory, the NSF's Ocean Observatories Regional Cabled Array (RCA) and is directly connected to the terrestrial Internet through >500 km of high power and bandwidth fiber optic cables. Through extensive use of stunning high-resolution video imagery and from data streaming in live from the cable, this presentation will tell the story of the connection between volcanoes, hot springs and novel life forms that thrive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. 
 
On April 24, 2015 the cabled observatory lit up as the volcano awoke for the third time since 1998. Over 8,000 earthquakes occurred in 24 hrs. This seismic crisis was concomitant with a 2.4 m collapse of the volcanoes' summit, marking the start of the eruption. Over 30,000 acoustic events delineated explosions as lava spilled onto the seafloor forming multiple flows, one of which reached 127 m in thickness. Microbial life streamed from the cooling lava and covered the glassy surfaces. Fountains of gas-rich lava issuing from seafloor fissures deposited ash on RCA instruments and salt-rich fluids originating from beneath the seafloor spilled into the caldera. Data streaming in 24/7 from the RCA show that the volcano is once again poised to erupt.  
 
The RCA is maintained during intense, annual operations and maintenance cruises lasting ~ 35-45 days using the UNOLS global class ships and the ROV's Jason and ROPOS. Each year, >200 instruments are recovered and reinstalled on the cabled seafloor network and on cabled state-of-the-art moorings hosting instrumented profiling vehicles. All data are available to a global audience through the OOI data portal.
