Title: | The shallow magma chamber of Stromboli Volcano (Italy) | Journal: | Geophysical Research Letters | Series/Report no.: | /44 (2017) | Issue Date: | 3-Jul-2017 | DOI: | 10.1002/2017GL073008 | Abstract: | In this work, we integrate artificial and natural seismic sources data to obtain high-resolution images of the shallow inner structure of Stromboli Volcano. Overall, we used a total of 21,953 P readings from an active seismic experiment and an additional 2731 P and 992 S readings deriving from 269 local events. The well-defined Vp, Vs, and Vp/Vs tomograms have highlighted the following: (i) the region where magma cumulates at shallow depths (2–4 km below sea level (bsl)), forming an elongated NE-SW high-velocity body (Vp ≥ 6.0 km/s and Vs ≥ 3.5 km/s), with a very fast velocity core (6.5 ≤ Vp < 7.0 km/s) of ~2 km3; (ii) the presence of some near-vertical pipe-like structures, characterized by relatively high P velocities values, mainly linked to past activity (e.g., Strombolicchio); and (iii) a near-vertical pipe-like volume with high Vp/Vs (1.78 ÷ 1.85), located beneath to the craters (down to ~1.0 km bsl), overlying a deeper region (1.0 to 3.0 km bsl) with low Vp/Vs (1.64 ÷ 1.69), interpreted as the actual and preferential pathway of magma toward the surface. Our results demonstrate the importance of combining passive and active seismic data to improve, in a tomographic inversion, the resolution of the volcanic structures and to discover where magma may be stored. |
