      How does one delare a 2D STUArray in Haskell?

I see the following from a diffusion program segment:

module Diffusion where

import Data.Array
import Data.List (sortBy)

type VFieldElem = Float
type VField = Array (Int,Int) VFieldElem

<snip>

zeros = listArray ((1,1),(imax,jmax)) (repeat 0)

From Real World Haskell to declare a 1D array (I changed some of the
value names) there is the following:

import Data.Array.ST (STUArray)
import Data.Array.Unboxed (UArray)
import Data.Word (Word32)

data PlayingField1D a = PF1D {
    pf1DState  :: (a -> [Word32])
	, pf1DArray :: UArray Word32 Bool
    }

data MutPlayingField1D s a = MPF1D {
	  mpf1DState :: (a -> [Word32])
	, mutpf1DArray :: STUArray s Word32 Bool
    }

But I cannot see how to declare a 2D array.

Although, it is not "strictly" necessary, pun intended, since one can
reframe the 1D array as 2D array by using row/column mapping
functions.
