Resumo(s)
Increased thermal activity was detected to coincide with the onset of volcano inflation in the seawater-filled caldera at Deception
Island. This thermal activity was manifested in pulses of high water temperature that coincided with ocean tide cycles. The
seawater temperature anomalies were detected by a thermometric sensor attached to the tide gauge (bottom pressure sensor). This
was installed where the seawater circulation and the locations of known thermal anomalies, fumaroles and thermal springs,
together favor the detection of water warmed within the caldera. Detection of the increased thermal activity was also possible
because sea ice, which covers the entire caldera during the austral winter months, insulates the water and thus reduces temperature
exchange between seawater and atmosphere. In these conditions, the water temperature data has been shown to provide significant information about Deception volcano activity. The detected seawater temperature increase, also observed in soil temperature readings, suggests rapid and near-simultaneous increase in geothermal activity with onset of caldera inflation and an
increased number of seismic events observed in the following austral summer.
