Project Total: $7,804,000; GoSouth aims to determine the impacts of volcanism and earthquake activity on marine ecosystems and submarine geohazards (e.g. submarine landslides, tsunamis, submarine eruptions) along the South Sandwich Islands (SSI) arc through seafloor mapping, geophysical surveys, and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) dives. Funded by: Schmidt Ocean Institute - Grant; University of Plymouth; University of Tasmania.

Project Total: $477,880; This project is based on recently acquired seafloor samples and geophysical data from extraordinary deposits at a modern submarine volcano. This project aims to determine the conditions that lead to explosive eruption underwater, the dynamics of associated sediment flows, and if these events can trigger tsunami. Expected outcomes include an unprecedented reconstruction of the architecture of submarine caldera volcanoes, new innovative models applicable globally for a richer understanding of volcanic tsunami and eruptions that shape the seafloor. This project will provide significant benefits through mitigation of global marine natural hazards, and by improving knowledge on the volcanic hosts of ore deposits.

Project Total: $20,000; Geochemical analyses of volcanic material collected by IODP expedition 379. Funded by: Australian and New Zealand International Ocean Drilling Program Consortium - Grant ($20,000); University of Tasmania.

Project Total: $39,750; The Santorini Volcanic Field has experienced 12 explosive, Plinian-style eruptions in the past ~150 ky, with the most well-known being the Late Bronze Age (LBA) or Minoan eruption which discharged between 30-60 km3 of magma. The on-land deposits are relatively well preserved and thus have been extensively studied. However, a significant proportion of the erupted deposits lie in the marine environment and in contrast have not been studied in detail, mainly due to access difficulties. This project will investigate pyroclastic deposits from the 3.6 ka Minoan eruption collected during Expedition 398 to add knowledge of the dynamics of this eruption. The submarine deposits likely contain proximal near-vent material. This study of the near vent submarine deposits will facilitate a better understanding of the transport regimes, spatial distribution, and volume of erupted material which will feed into existing models derived from studies of the on-land deposits.

Project Total: $1,989,625; This project involved a research voyage to conduct seismic reflection, marine geophysics and shallow coring to quantify the structure, volume, age and tsunamigenic potential of a gigantic slide off the western Tasmanian shelf. This grant application to the Marine National Facility is for ship time only. Funded by: CSIRO-Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation - Grant-Marine National Facility; University of Tasmania.

Project Total: $3,917,088; This project involved a research voyage to conduct seismic reflection, marine geophysics and shallow coring to quantify the structure, volume, age and tsunamigenic potential of large slides off the eastern coast of Australia (NSW and QLD). This grant application to the Marine National Facility is for ship time only. Funded by: CSIRO-Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation - Grant-Marine National Facility; University of Tasmania.

Project Total: $2,470,950; This expedition will collect new information on powerful underwater volcanic eruptions. The voyage will target three representative submarine caldera volcanoes (Macauley, Havre and Healy) in the Kermadec arc, north of New Zealand. We will investigate the internal structure of these volcanoes to infer how they erupted, and where the eruption products were dispersed in the ocean. This research has strong with ties with the Australian mining industry by improving strategies for exploration in ancient volcanic terrains, and will also provide novel data on hazards linked to submarine volcanic eruptions, such as tsunamis and breakage of underwater communication cables.
