Abstract
While the location and shape of magma chambers beneath active volcanoes
play a key role in understanding magma transport and forecasting
volcanic activity, the nature of magma chambers, particularly their
shape, is not fully understood. Here we found a low velocity body
too small to be detected from conventional techniques by the aid
of a modern technique called seismic interferometry. Combining our
result with independent observations suggests that the low velocity
body is likely to represent a magma chamber. Our findings demonstrate
the utility of seismic interferometry in imaging a small scale feature
with a size of less than 10 km.
