Abstract
The Mariana Islands region hosts interesting geological features as well as abundant biodiversity. The subduction zone and back-arc spreading center have led to active volcanism that can have impacts on local islanders, aircraft flying in the region, and military activities. We deployed a small aperture hydrophone array from June 2017 to June 2018 in the Marianas back-arc to better characterize submarine volcanic activity in the region. In addition, we recorded other activity, including calls from historically understudied Bryde’s whales and T-phases from earthquakes. Here, we describe and discuss preliminary results from the array.
