Ongoing PhD

Towards better understanding of the mechanisms of magma transport and storage before explosive eruptions by seismic interferometry and study of deformation.

Doctorant: Alec Yates

Supervisors: Philippe Lesage, Corentin Caudron
Thesis detailed overview Volcanoes are now better monitored and understood than in the last century. Despite this, explosive eruptions, as opposed to effusive eruptions that passively extrude large amounts of magma at the surface, remain particularly challenging. Some explosive eruptions appear to be triggered by magma injections or volatile saturation whereas others start following dome unloading. Deformation and seismicity are the key (...)
