  • Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island Portugal
    Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island Portugal Friday, April 28, 2017 The seas remained lumpy through the night prior to reaching he Azores. During that time, I did feel a “Heart Tug” as we passed about 300 miles north of Funchal, Madeira, the origin of my first pacemaker. Most of you know of that story with us being taken off the ship there for the necessary implantation of my first pace-a-maker. It was built by a French company, that was owned by an Italian company and installed by a Portuguese doctor within hours of our arrival in Funchal. The fact that it could only be read with a French computer led to some interesting sequences during subsequent doctor visits in the USA. Ponta Delgado is on Sao Miquel Island, the largest of the nine islands in the Azores archipelago. These islands have their own microcli- mate and because of its location in the mid Atlantic Ocean, the seawater temperature is very constant. These waters gets contributions from the cold north Atlantic and the Gulf Stream affected southern portions. Hence it is a real cafeteria for fish of all sorts and whaling was a big part of its economy until Portugal outlawed it in 1974. But fishing persists as does a whale watching tourism attraction as eve- ry type of whale migrates through these waters. The atmospheric temperature is also very mild. Homes do not have heating, maybe one fireplace at most. The islands are volcanic in origin and most of the islands have numerous lakes—really craters remaining after volcanic reactions.

The station was built moderately SE Plate Plate from the central part of the Graciosa Island, in a heavily forested area that grows over recent basaltic lava flows. The array comprises eight data acquisition elements (H1 to H8) and one central recording facility (CRF) where the data are collected before transmitted to Vienna. The geometry of the array is arranged in two groups, namely, a pentagon outer sub-array and a inner triangular sub-array.

Three-Dimensional interpretation of broadband magnetotelluric data at Fogo Volcano, Azores Islands Colin Hogg1, Duygu Kiyan1, Volker Rath1, Andreas Junge2, Philip Hering2, Cesar Castro2, Robert Delhaye1, Rita Carmo3, Rita Marques3, Rui Marques3, and Fatima Viveiros3 1Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Geophysics, Dublin, Ireland ([email protected]) 2Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany 3CIVISA / IVAR, University of Azores, Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Portugal The architecture of volcanic systems is essential to know as (1) it yields knowledge on evolution of the volcanic system, thus improving our capability to project future behaviour; (2) as it provides insights regarding geohazards (such as seismic activity, landslides, increased outgassing), crucial for mitigating risk to human population; (3) as it contributes to the assessment of potential for renewable energy resources. High electrical conductivity values are typically associated with volcanic-hydrothermal systems and the magnetotelluric (MT) method has proven to be successful in mapping such conductivity contrasts and constraining volcanic processses. The Azores archipelago (Portugal) is formed by nine volcanic islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean where the American, Eurasian, and African plates meet at a triple junction. São Miguel Island is the largest of the archipelago and hosts three trachytic polygenetic volcanoes: Sete Cidades, Fogo (Água de Pau) and Furnas. Following our earlier MT studies at Furnas, 44 high- quality (to ~1000s) broadband MT sites were collected during 2018 across Fogo Volcano and the adjacent Congro region that is prone to seismic swarm activity.

  • Azores Volcano Geotraverse*
    AZORES VOLCANO GEOTRAVERSE* Wes Gibbons 2019 In this Holiday Geology guide we describe a west-to-east drive across the volcanoes of São Miguel, the largest and most easily accessible (and therefore most visited) island in the Azores archipelago. São Miguel lies 2,400km from Barcelona and Newfoundland, and is positioned geologically just east of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge tectonic plate boundary which runs 3,000km north to Iceland and over 10,000km south to Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic. Despite the geographic isolation of the island (the nearest continental landmass is 1,500km away at the Lisbon coast) it is nevertheless well served by flights to the capital Ponta Delgada from both European and North American destinations. You will need to hire a car on arrival and buy a road map before you arrive: the Azores Tour & Trail (Discovery Walking Guides 2019) is a good choice. São Miguel is very green, very volcanic, and very isolated in the Atlantic Ocean. 2 SETE 16 1 CIDADES 17 Nordeste Ribeira 18 CALDERA 8 NORDESTE 3 Grande 9 VOLCANIC 4 6 15 SYSTEM PICOS FISSURAL CONGRO FISSURAL Furnas VOLCANIC 5 SÃO MIGUEL VOLCANIC SYSTEM14 POVOAÇÃO 19 13 CALDERA SYSTEM FOGO 10 FURNAS CALDERA 7 12 10 km Airport CALDERA Povoaçāo Faial da Terra 11 PONTA Ribeira Quente DELGADA Vila Franca do Campo 1.
