9. Having collected and evaluated the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast.
Having collected and evaluated…是现在分词的完成式在句中作状语，表明从句动作发生在主句动作之前。
1 作状语的分词所表示的动作，可以表示时间、原因、方式、伴随或结果等，通常用逗号与句子隔开。其逻辑主语通常要与句子的主语保持一致，即句子的主语就是动词-ing的动作执行者。与句子主语之间存在着主动关系是决定现在分词的一个重要尺度。
2 过去分词作状语同现在分词作状语一样，其逻辑上的主语就是主句的主语，但不同的是，过去分词与主语之间存在被动关系，但有时无被动意味，只是表示一种状态或动作的完成。
eg: Admitting what she said, I still think she hasn’t tried her best.
Having answered the teacher’s questions, she sat down and felt much more relaxed.
Not having received a reply, he decided to write again.
United, we stand; divided, we fall.

10. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them.
此处this being…是独立主格结构。
1 独立主格结构在句法上独立于句子主体之外，跟主句没有任何句法联系，但在意义上却与主句紧密联系在一起，共同构成一个完整的语义环境；独立主格结构没有主语和谓语，只有逻辑上的主语；其可置于句首或句尾，用逗号与主句隔开。
2 独立主格结构可分为两部分：一部分是名词或代词（主格），起着逻辑主语的作用；另一部分有形容词、副词、名词、分词、不定式、介词短语等构成，表示前面名词或代词的状态、状况或动作。
eg: The guide leading the way, we had no trouble getting out of the forest.
Weather permitting, we will go on an outing to the beach tomorrow.
He left the office, tears in eyes.
