[1] Multiply scattered waves are a new tool for monitoring changes in the earth’s subsurface. In this study we use the air pressure and displacement recorded at the Arenal Volcano to detect temporal changes. The pressure pulses emitted by the volcano are associated with a complex displacement signal of overlapping coda waves. By deconvolving the ground motion with the air pressure for different...

The submarine volcanic eruption occurring near El Hierro (Canary Islands) in October 2011 provided a unique opportunity to determine the effects of such events on the microbial populations of the surrounding waters. The birth of a new underwater volcano produced a large plume of vent material detectable from space that led to abrupt changes in the physical-chemical properties of the water colum...

During the past few years a methodology has been developed for processing data collected by GPS networks consisting of a mixed set of single-frequency and dual-frequency receivers. The strategy is to deploy a few permanent, ‘fiducial’ GPS stations with dual-frequency, geodetic-grade receivers surrounding an ‘inner’ network of low-cost, single-frequency GPS receivers. Such a configuration offers...

S U M M A R Y A multi-2-D non linear traveltime tomography of the shallow (3–4 km deep) structure of Mt Vesuvius volcano was performed. Data have been collected during two recent active seismic experiments using a total of 17 on-land shots and about 140 three-component digital seismographs. A newly developed technique for imaging the volcano velocity structure has been applied, based on an adap...

This work focuses on the seismic response of a volcano to different magmatic processes with the aim of sheding light on their driving physics as tracked by seismicity. We study seismic time series recorded at basaltic volcanoes and identify generic seismicity patterns characteristic of (i) inter-eruptive, (ii) reservoir feeding, (iii) reservoir leak, and (iv) dyke injection phases of volcanic a...
