The Magnetometer:
Collaborators from UBO and CNRS have also provided a magnetometer to monitor
the the covariation of the magnetic field and seismic
events. The seismometer and magnetometer are the basis of
an envisioned submarine geomagnetic-seismic observatory;
both of these instruments will be capable of recording
global as well as local events. Some studies have
suggested that there are electromagnetic signals associated with seismic activities due perhaps to the
movement of water through the basement rocks. Such
contemporaneous measurements have been rare.
