Expedition 340 summary
2013
The Lesser Antilles Volcanism and Landslides project aims to
elucidate the constructive and destructive processes of island arc
volcanoes. The data set collected includes the first ever drilling of
volcanic island landslides and cores providing a long-term record
of volcanic eruption cycles and magmatic evolution. Processes
occurring along these arcs are among the most fundamental on
Earth. Styles of magmatism and eruptive activity are diverse in
this geological setting not only between different arcs but also
between the different islands that make up an arc. Because of the
association of volcanic activity in island arcs with potentially very
damaging geohazards (explosive eruptions and tsunamis), it is
imperative to investigate and thus better understand the evolution
of these volcanoes and the histories of their related landslides.
