Cruise: Fire and Ice: Volcanic and Glacial Interactions

On May 2, 2008, Chile’s Chaitén volcano erupted without warning, spewing ash 30 kilometers into the air.  This ash blanketed the landscape, and heavy rain in the following days triggered devastating volcanic mudflows that flowed down mountainsides and into the fjords below. The nearby town of Chaitén evacuated as the volcano completely transformed the surrounding landscape. While the destruction was easy to observe on land, scientists have not yet closely examined the impacts the eruption had on the surrounding ocean environments. Dr. Sebastian Watt of the University of Birmingham, UK, will lead an international team to study the underwater effects of the Chaitén eruption from the research vessel Falkor (too). Understanding the imprint of the Chaitén eruption in the marine environment will also help unlock deeper-time records of major volcanic eruptions in the region, allowing scientists to reconstruct volcanic behavior in Southern Chile over geologic time. 

Person: Alastair Hodgetts

Alastair is a physical volcanologist/geologist at the University of Edinburgh, UK. Currently a NERC Postdoctoral Research Assistant, his research uses both field and stratigraphic studies to reconstruct past volcanological events, investigate long-term eruptive histories and further understand volcanic processes in order to better mitigate volcanic hazards. He has conducted geological fieldwork in over 10 countries … Continued

Person: Amalia Valdivieso

Amalia Valdivieso is an undergraduate student in the geology degree at the University of Chile. She is currently in her fifth year and is working alongside Rodrigo Fernández, Sion Moraga, and Marianne Heberlein on projects involving sedimentary cores from Patagonia and Antarctica.

Person: Anke Zernack

Anke Zernack is a senior researcher in the Volcanic Risk Solutions group at Massey University. She uses stratigraphic field mapping together with sedimentological and geochemical approaches to reconstruct volcanic processes, eruption histories, and magmatic evolution of long-lived stratovolcanoes, including remobilisation and resedimentation of volcanic material through debris avalanches and lahars. Her research also investigates primary … Continued
