Seismic imaging and petrology explain highly explosive eruptions of Merapi Volcano, Indonesia

Abstract Our seismic tomographic images characterize, for the first time, spatial and volumetric details of the subvertical magma plumbing system of Merapi Volcano. We present P- and S-wave arrival time data, which were collected in a dense seismic network, known as DOMERAPI, installed around the vo...
