Summary: | The Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment
(NanTroSEIZE) is a major long-term drilling project
designed to investigate the seismogenic behavior of subduction
zone plate boundaries. Integrated Ocean Drilling
Program (IODP) Expedition 332 deployed a long-term
borehole monitoring system (LTBMS), an advanced
Circulation Obviation Retrofit Kit (CORK)-type observatory.
The recovery of pressure and temperature data from a temporary
observatory (SmartPlug) deployed during IODP
Expedition 319 helped prove the SmartPlug concept. The
permanent LTBMS was deployed n the upper 1000 m of Site
C0002, while the SmartPlug was recovered from Site C0010
and replaced with a more capable "GeniusPlug", incorporating
an extension with a geochem-ical sampler and biological
experiment to the original SmartPlug design. SmartPlug
pressure and temperature data showed signs of transient
pressure events.
