NeMO 2003 NeMO 2003 took place August 26 - September 8, 2003. NeMO
studies the dynamic interactions between submarine volcanic activity and
seafloor hotsprings at an observatory, Axial seamount. A volcanic eruption
occured at Axial in January 1998, destroying some hydrothermal vent sites
and creating new ones. Since then NeMO scientists have been assessing
the impact of the eruption and documenting the on-going changes in Axial's
summit caldera.
The NeMO 2004 expedition will be September 18-28, 2004 (Seattle, Washington - Newport, Oregon) Visit the calendar for 2003 expedition logbooks! |
