Chemical sensor measurements at the sediment surface of the Håkon Mosby mud volcano (LOOME)

DOI

Six sensor units each having a pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) sensor, plus a central logger, and connection cables were purchased from RBR (Ottawa). The sensing loggers were placed at a transect across the hot spot. Unfortunately, 5 of the 7 loggers were drowned. Only the central logger, that collected the data from the 6 sensor loggers, and one of the sensor loggers remained dry and functional. The sensor was positioned at 50 m south of the frame, in the center of the hot spot. The ORP did not show interpretable signals. The DO and pH signals showed good correlation (. At the end of October 2009 both signals decreased, the pH became as low as 4, possibly indicating increased seepage, or burial in expelled sediments. In December both sensors regained seawater values and then decreased again until the end of May 2010. A pH of 4 can only be reached by very high carbondioxide levels. The dynamics of the signals indicate eruptions and sediment movements from October 2009 till the end of the deployment.
