Anatomy of the Bezymianny volcano merely before an explosive eruption on 20.12.2017

Abstract Strong explosive eruptions of volcanoes throw out mixtures of gases and ash from high-pressure underground reservoirs. Investigating these subsurface reservoirs may help to forecast and characterize an eruption. In this study, we compare seismic tomography results with remote sensing and pe...
