Deep Magmatic Unrest: ground uplift and magma rise at Uturuncu volcano
07 Aug 2013 | Contributor(s): James Hickey, Jo Gottsmann, Rodrigo del Potro
Uturuncu volcano in southern Bolivia has been steadily inflating since at least 1965, and combined with shallow seismicity and near-summit active fumaroles represents a volcanic system showing significant signs of unrest. This study focuses on the mechanism driving the 70 km wide region of ground...

ADVANCES IN INTEGRATED VOLCANIC GEODETIC MODELLING AND APPLICATION TO DEEP-SEATED UNREST AT UTURUNCU VOLCANO, BOLIVIA
18 Mar 2013 | Contributor(s): James Hickey, Jo Gottsmann
Moving on from simple, analytical deformation models, we have developed a suite of numerical models that can account for a range of realistic crustal complexities and are thus more consistent with multi-disciplinary constraints. Using Finite Element techniques through commercial code COMSOL...
