摘要:We report on a joint gravimetric and ground deformation study on Montserrat,
with the aim of quantifying mass and/or density changes beneath the island
related to the volcanic activity at Soufrire Hills Volcano (SHV). Our
observations coupled with 3-D data inversion indicate the existence of a
previously unrecognised NNW-SSE trending zone of structural weakness (i.e.
fault) that is located at shallow depths beneath the Centre Hills of Montserrat,
along which active fluid migration is coupled to magmatic stressing at SHV.
