Introduction The main objective of Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 324 was to test competing mantle plume and plate tectonic models for ocean plateau formation at Shatsky Rise (Fig. F1). In these tests, determining the timing, duration, and source of volcanism at Shatsky Rise is of pivotal importance to under- stand the origin of this oceanic plateau.

  • Scientists Confirm Existence of Largest Single Volcano on Earth (Update) 5 September 2013
    Scientists confirm existence of largest single volcano on Earth (Update) 5 September 2013 Tamu Massif did indeed erupt from a single source near the center. "Tamu Massif is the biggest single shield volcano ever discovered on Earth," Sager said. "There may be larger volcanoes, because there are bigger igneous features out there such as the Ontong Java Plateau, but we don't know if these features are one volcano or complexes of volcanoes." MCS re?ection Line A–B, across the axis of Tamu Massif. Credit: Nature A University of Houston (UH) professor led a team of scientists to uncover the largest single volcano yet documented on Earth. Covering an area roughly equivalent to the British Isles or the state of New Mexico, this volcano, dubbed the Tamu Massif, is nearly as big as the giant volcanoes of Mars, placing it among the largest in the Solar System. William Sager, a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at UH, first began studying the volcano about 20 years ago at Texas A&M's College of Geosciences. Sager and his team's findings appear in the Sept. 8 issue of Nature Geoscience, the monthly multi-disciplinary journal reflecting disciplines within the geosciences. Located about 1,000 miles east of Japan, Tamu Massif is the largest feature of Shatsky Rise, an underwater mountain range formed 130 to 145 million years ago by the eruption of several underwater volcanoes. Until now, it was unclear whether Tamu Massif was a single volcano, or a IODP technician Margaret Hastedt labels pieces of core composite of many eruption points.

Energy and material are continually exchanged at the interfaces between water and air, ice, rocks, and sediments. In addition to the physical and chemical processes, biological processes play a significant role. Vast areas of the ocean remain unexplored. Investigation of the surface ocean is carried out by satellites. All other observations and measurements have to be carried out in-situ using research vessels and spe- cial instruments. Ocean observation requires the use of special technologies such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), towed camera systems etc. Seismic methods provide the foundation for mapping the bottom topography and sedimentary structures. We cordially welcome you to the international OCEANS ’09 conference and exhibition, to the world’s leading conference and exhibition in ocean science, engineering, technology and management. OCEANS conferences have become one of the largest professional meetings and expositions devoted to ocean sciences, technology, policy, engineering and education.

Numerical modeling for the geodynamic formation of the Tamu Massif, the largest single volcano on Earth Jinchang Zhang (1), Min Ding (2), and Zhiyuan Zhou (1) (1) CAS Key Laboratory of Ocean and Marginal Sea Geology, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, China ([email protected]), (2) School of Earth and Space Sciences, Peking University, Beijing, China The Western Pacific Ocean has most of the underwater volcanoes on Earth, and among them the Tamu Massif within the Shatsky Rise is proved to be the largest single volcano. By comparing thermo-mechanical models with gravity, topography, and seismic observations, we seek to address an important question: “How did this Earth’s largest volcano form by the interaction between a ridge-ridge-ridge triple junction and a mantle plume?” We focus on the following tasks: 1.set up three-dimensional thermo-mechanical models to simulate the ridge-plume interac- tion; 2.calculate the coupled mantle flow and temperature structure, and constrain the model parameters (spreading rates, plume size and depth, loading time, magma types, melting conditions, source temperature) using magnetic anomalies and magmatic geochemistry characteristics; 3.compute model-based magma supply and compare with crustal thickness and crustal volume estimates from seismic sounding and gravity observations; 4.invert for model parameters and find the control parameters on the volcano’s formation. It is creative to conduct a quantitative anal- ysis of the volcano’s formation, which can provide insights to the geodynamic evolution of thick oceanic crust.

  • Structural and Morphologic Study of Shatsky Rise Oceanic
    STRUCTURAL AND MORPHOLOGIC STUDY OF SHATSKY RISE OCEANIC PLATEAU IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC OCEAN FROM 2D MULTICHANNEL SEISMIC REFLECTION AND BATHYMETRY DATA AND IMPLICATIONS FOR OCEANIC PLATEAU EVOLUTION A Dissertation by JINCHANG ZHANG Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, William W. Sager Co-Chair of Committee, Zuosheng Yang Committee Members, Mitch W. Lyle Richard L. Gibson Head of Department, Debbie J. Thomas May 2014 Major Subject: Oceanography Copyright 2014 Jinchang Zhang ABSTRACT Shatsky Rise is one of the largest oceanic plateaus, a class of volcanic features whose formation is poorly understood. It is also a plateau that was formed near spreading ridges, but the connection is unclear. The geologic structure and morphology of Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau provides key observations that can help understand its formation. Deep penetrating 2D multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection profiles and high-resolution multi-beam sonar data were acquired over the southern half of Shatsky Rise on R/V Marcus G. Langseth during two cruises. The MCS profiles allow us to image Shatsky Rise's upper crustal structure and Moho structure with unprecedented detail, and the multi-beam bathymetry data allow us to produce an improved bathymetric map of the plateau. MCS profiles and bathymetry data show that two of the volcanic massifs within Shatsky Rise are immense central volcanoes. Tamu Massif, the largest (~450 × 650 km) and oldest (~145 Ma) volcano, is a single central volcano with rounded shape and shallow flank slopes (<0.5o-1.5o), characterized by lava flows emanating from the volcano center and extending hundreds of kilometers down smooth, shallow flanks to the surrounding seafloor.

EQUIPMENT This Data Acquisition and Processing Report describes both the survey equipment used and the standard methods for acquisition applied to the equipment used. Not necessarily all equipment described within this report was used during data acquisition for all projects and/or sheets. Data were acquired by the following Rainier survey vessels: Hull Number Vessel type 2801 28 foot Jensen survey launch 2802 28 foot Jensen survey launch 2803 28 foot Jensen survey launch 2804 28 foot Jensen survey launch S221 231 foot steel hydrographic ship Vessels S221, 2801, 2802, 2803, and 2804 are used to acquire shallow-water multibeam (SWMB) data and sound velocity profiles. Any vessel may be utilized for collecting bottom samples and detached positions (DPs). Vessel descriptions and offset measurements are included in the 2011 NOAA Ship Rainier Hydrographic Readiness Review Package. Three different categories of echosounder systems are available for use by Rainier survey vessels. The individual system(s) chosen for use in a given area were decided at the discretion of the Hydrographer using the guidance stated in the Hydrographic Survey Project Instructions, the Hydrographic Surveys Specifications and Deliverables Manual (HSSDM), and the Field Procedures Manual, and depended upon the limitations of each system, the bottom topography, the water depth, and the ability of the platform vessel to safely navigate the area.
