In a collaborative project with Matt Hornbach (Southern Methodist University) and the USGS, we are measuring heat flow beneath Mono Lake and Paoha Island to understand the geometry and location of subsurface magma bodies and hydrothermal systems. Paoha Island had eruptions a couple hundred years ago. We are deploying a new generation of instrumentation designed and built by Matt Hornbach and his students. The NSF EAGER program is supporting the initiation of the project.
