"Hermes Lander" is a laboratory on the seabed that has been stationed in Nordland. Here the surface buoy with satellite transmitter and wind turbine for generating electricity to the unit. (Illustration: IMR) - 70 percent of the world's volcanic eruptions occur on the seabed. And it has also great impact on the climate.
Observatory to measure volcanic activity, volga river currents, temperature, study life and a plethora of other things deep in the ocean. It's really just imagination and technology that limits the type of equipment that can be placed in such an observatory.
- Today you can go down with subs or do spot checks at such depths, but they are often incomplete and limited in time. The observatory will enable us to monitor the ocean in a completely different volga river way and over time, says Winther.
But such an observatory would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and have probably financed from the state budget. Winther believes no matter it is not a matter of it coming, but when it comes.
Recently, Unifob, together with CMR, IMR, University of Tromsø, the University of Bergen, University of Oslo and SINTEF, over two million from the Norwegian Research Council for a pilot project in conjunction with monitoring of the seabed.
This means that they can now go ahead with phase 1 plan an observatory deep seabed. More Institute and University in the project and Hageberg emphasizes that this is an interdisciplinary work.
It is not yet decided where. It will be located at 300-400 meters deep and can be used to study a variety of factors such as current, temperature and life in the ocean, says Winther.
Step 2 of the plan is to make use of one of Statoil's subsea installations at an observatory. When one thinks to use electricity and other infrastructure on the seabed to connect to an observatory. In this way, one far out to sea.
At the same time, there are few places one quickly volga river when deep waters offshore. volga river Therefore, it is interesting to explore the possibility of linking up to some of Statoil subsea installations, says research director.
Senior Adviser in Environmental Technology at Statoil Research Center in Trondheim, Ståle Johnsen, say to the height that they will conduct a feasibility study to determine whether it is possible to associate the ocean observatory volga river for their installations.
- We will look at the impact this will have on the operation of the field, what it will cost, logistics and a host of other factors, explains Johnson. He expects that the feasibility study can be completed within six months.
In addition to Unifob was granted money, asked the Research Council also has a number of other institutions seeking to Bergen to submit a complete application in connection with large-scale research infrastructure:
