Yellow Submarine Volcano Watcher

May 28, 2007

Will Ostrom, Keith von der Heydt, and Neil McPhee (from left to right) prepare to lower and test the base of the Real-time Offshore Seismic Station (RTOSS) buoy off the Woods Hole dock before shipping it for deployment near Grenada. On May 6, 2007, researchers deployed the newly designed buoy in order to help natural hazard scientists to better monitor a volcano that poses series and frequent danger to the residents of the Caribbean island.
