| Abstract | This project will collect electromagnetic data at Brothers volcano, the best-studied submarine volcano in the world. These data will image the inner workings of an active volcano and map fluid flow paths. Fluid flow leads to the precipitation of minerals that form heavy metal deposits. New and existing data will be integrated to estimate the amount of heavy metals deposited at this volcano. Broader impacts include engaging the public through a research cruise blog; training a researcher in elect |
