“…An international endeavor has taken place at global scale to establish permanent underwater networks (e.g., OOI in USA, NEPTUNE in Canada, and DONET in Japan; Favali et al, 2010). In Europe, with European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory (EMSO, http://www.emso-eu .org; Favali and Beranzoli, 2009;Person et al, 2014) there is an effort to establish a permanent underwater infrastructure for continuous multiparametric monitoring at sites placed on the European continental margin. GEOSTAR-class observatories have already operated temporarily at some of the EMSO sites (Favali et al, 2006a(Favali et al, ,b, 2011.…”

“…The first such cabled observatories were the 2006 coastal VENUS system (Tunnicliffe et al, 2008) and the regional NEPTUNE observatory operational in 2009 (Barnes et al, 2015;Best et al, 2015), now within Ocean Networks Canada (ONC). Similar observatories, tailored to national, scientific, and geographical needs, have included Japan -DONET and S-net (Kawaguchi et al, 2015;Kanazawa et al, 2016), United States -Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) and others (Massion and Raybould, 2006;Kelley et al, 2014;Howe et al, 2015), China (Lu et al, 2015), and Europe (Best et al, 2014;Person et al, 2015). These developments have in turn fostered the evolution of progressively smaller, more precise and reliable sensors (Schaad, 2009;Paros et al, 2012;RBR, 2017;Delory and Pearlman, 2018).…”

SMART Cables for Observing the Global Ocean: Science and Implementation

et al. 2019

The ocean is key to understanding societal threats including climate change, sea level rise, ocean warming, tsunamis, and earthquakes. Because the ocean is difficult and costly to monitor, we lack fundamental data needed to adequately model, understand, and address these threats. One solution is to integrate sensors into future undersea telecommunications cables. This is the mission of the SMART subsea cables initiative (Science Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunications). SMART sensors would "piggyback" on the power and communications infrastructure of a million kilometers of undersea fiber optic cable and thousands of repeaters, creating the potential for seafloor-based global ocean observing at a modest incremental cost. Initial sensors would measure temperature, pressure, and seismic acceleration. The resulting data would address two critical scientific and societal issues: the longterm need for sustained climate-quality data from the under-sampled ocean (e.g., deep ocean temperature, sea level, and circulation), and the near-term need for improvements to global tsunami warning networks. A Joint Task Force (JTF) led by three UN agencies (ITU/WMO/UNESCO-IOC) is working to bring this initiative to fruition. This paper explores the ocean science and early warning improvements available

“…The European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory [40] large-scale distributed Research Infrastructure (RI) is being developed [41][42][43] for long-term monitoring of geohazards and environmental phenomena. EMSO spans over eleven nodes, from the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean, and through the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea.…”

Observing Volcanoes from the Seafloor in the Central Mediterranean Area

et al. 2016

Abstract:The three volcanoes that are the object of this paper show different types of activity that are representative of the large variety of volcanism present in the Central Mediterranean area. Etna and Stromboli are sub-aerial volcanoes, with significant part of their structure under the sea, while the Marsili Seamount is submerged, and its activity is still open to debate. The study of these volcanoes can benefit from multi-parametric observations from the seafloor. Each volcano was studied with a different kind of observation system. Stromboli seismic recordings are acquired by means of a single Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS). From these data, it was possible to identify two different magma chambers at different depths. At Marsili Seamount, gravimetric and seismic signals are recorded by a battery-powered multi-disciplinary observatory (GEOSTAR). Gravimetric variations and seismic Short Duration Events (SDE) confirm the presence of hydrothermal activity. At the Etna observation site, seismic signals, water pressure, magnetic field and acoustic echo intensity are acquired in real-time thanks to a cabled multi-disciplinary observatory (NEMO-SN1 ). This observatory is one of the operative nodes of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory (EMSO; www.emso-eu.org) research infrastructure. Through a multidisciplinary approach, we speculate about deep Etna sources and follow some significant events, such as volcanic ash diffusion in the seawater.
