Imaging Magmatic Architecture using Strain Tomography
Volcanic unrest can give warning of impending eruptions, thus monitoring and appropriate emergency management saves lives. However, the ability to accurately forecast the future behaviour of individual volcanoes relies on interpreting changes in the underlying magmatic system. The conceptual understanding of magmatic systems has evolved rapidly and there is now ample geophysical and petrological evidence that a fluid-dominated ‘magma chamber’ is only one component of a much larger system with a heterogeneous distribution of melts, crystals and gases. The opportunity exists to use these advances to interpret monitoring signals, to improve forecasting skills and in turn contribute to the…
