Image of The Day caption:
On May 6, 2007, WHOI researchers and technicians deployed the Real Time Offshore Seismic Station (RTOSS) off the coast of Grenada. RTOSS is part of a project to develop new mooring technology for earthquake monitoring, and it includes an ocean-bottom seismometer deployed directly on top of the volcano to collect real-time data from the hazardous Kick`em Jenny volcano. The new system should significantly improve the ability of natural hazard managers to notify and protect the island's residents from volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.
