A pre-eruptive increase of shear wave velocity, which correlates well with pre-eruptive seismicity and dome-growth is revealed. The method can be used as a 'pressure-gauge' for pressure changes inside of volcanoes, because increasing pressures in rocks are known to cause proportionally increasing elastic wave velocities.
