Monitoring Remote Volcanoes By Deformation

Causes of Deflation Submarine eruption –Should cause deformation signal Lateral intrusion –Should cause deformation signal Vesicle segregation –Should cause densification = gravity signal Drainback

Conclusions Intrusion is forming by unsteady but continual supply of magma. Feedback between faulting of the roof, eruption, and resupply. Feedback between pressure, volume, and degassing. Dikes do not form along faults!

Fernandina Sierra Negra Extremely remote: Largest wilderness tropical island in the world Inhabited and developed

Green = Observed Red = Inflation by InSAR Blue = Coeruption 2002-2006 GPS

Questions What causes the fluctuation in magma supply? Why do dikes form on the hinge, not the fault? What controls faulting vs. eruption? Why didn’t faulting relieve pressure? How does the feedback between pressure, volatiles, and deformation work?
