Fecha de publicación: | 15-feb-2010 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Earth and Planetary Science Letters 290 (1-2): 83-89 (2010) | Resumen: | The eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano (Montserrat, West Indies) has been ongoing for more than a decade, yet routine monitoring of the activity did not include gravity surveillance for most of the time. In June/July 2006, we installed a new elevation-controlled microgravity network, which we re-occupied in January/February 2007 and August/September 2008. Residual gravity changes of up to 74 µGal between the surveys allow us to infer net mass and/or density changes beneath the central part of the island. Data inversion for causative source parameters indicates mass changes along NW–SE elongated structures beneath the Centre Hills at a minimum depth of 700 m. We suggest the observed gravity variations to be related to poroelastic dynamics involving groundwater migration and/or fracture opening/closing along a hitherto unrecognized fault zone. The perturbations appear to be triggered by changes in the stress field of the shallow plumbing system of Soufrière Hills Volcano. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2009.12.004 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/34283 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.epsl.2009.12.004 | ISSN: | 0012-821X | E-ISSN: | 1385-013X |
