My research focuses on understanding the processes controlling volcanoes, earthquakes, and glaciers. I combine a variety of types of geophysical and geologic data with methods from fields such as seismology, geodesy, and numerical modeling to understand these systems and the hazards they pose.

    Abstract

    Magma rheology and volatile contents exert primary and highly nonlinear controls on volcanic activity. Subtle changes in these magma properties can modulate eruption style and hazards, making in situ inference of their temporal evolution vital for volcano monitoring. Here, we study thousands of impulsive magma oscillations within the shallow conduit and lava lake of Kīlauea Volcano, Hawai'i, USA, over the 2008-2018 summit eruptive sequence, encoded by "very-long-period" seismic events and ground deformation. Inversion of these data with a petrologically informed model of magma dynamics reveals significant variation in temperature and highly disequilibrium volatile contents over days to years, within a transport network that evolved over the eruption. Our results suggest a framework for inferring subsurface magma dynamics associated with prolonged eruptions in near real time that synthesizes petrologic and geophysical volcano monitoring approaches.
