Autopsy of an eruption: Linking crystal growth to volcano seismicity

25 May 2012

( Ruhr-University Bochum ) How processes below a volcano are linked to seismic signals at the surface is described by scientists from the petrology group of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and their colleagues from Bristol in a paper published today in Science. They analyzed the growth of crystals in the magma chamber and used results obtained from the monitoring of seismic signals. The research ...
