Seismic imaging and petrology explain highly explosive eruptions of Merapi Volcano, Indonesia Widiyantoro, S. Ramdhan, M. /Métaxian, Jean-Philippe Cummins, P. R. Martel, C. Erdmann, S. Nugraha, A. D. Budi-Santoso, A. /Laurin, Antoine Fahmi, A. A. Our seismic tomographic images characterize, for the first time, spatial and volumetric details of the subvertical magma plumbing system of Merapi Volcano. We present P-and S-wave arrival time data, which were collected in a dense seismic network, known as DOMERAPI, installed around the volcano for 18 months. The P-and S-wave arrival time data with similar path coverage reveal a high Vp/Vs structure extending from a depth of >= 20 km below mean sea level (MSL) up to the summit of the volcano. Combined with results of petrological studies, our seismic tomography data allow us to propose: (1) the existence of a shallow zone of intense fluid percolation, directly below the summit of the volcano; (2) a main, pre-eruptive magma reservoir at >= 10 to 20 km below MSL that is orders of magnitude larger than erupted magma volumes; (3) a deep magma reservoir at MOHO depth which supplies the main reservoir; and (4) an extensive, subvertical fluid-magma-transfer zone from the mantle to the surface. Such high-resolution spatial constraints on the volcano plumbing system as shown are an important advance in our ability to forecast and to mitigate the hazard potential of Merapi's future eruptions. 2018 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010074033 fdi:010074033 Widiyantoro S., Ramdhan M., Métaxian Jean-Philippe, Cummins P.
