Seismo-acoustic experiment and initial monitoring effort at Pagan Volcano, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

Conducting a more intensive research experiment on the island with the goals of: 1) characterizing background levels of seismic and infrasound emissions from Pagan, 2) modeling seismic and infrasound source mechanisms, 3) measuring shallow seismic velocity and attenuation with a series of high-impact helicopter mass drops, and 4) imaging shallow structures and recording time-lapse changes in the volcanic edifice using ambient noise cross-correlations.
