Here we found a low velocity body too small to be\u00a0detected from conventional techniques by the aid of a modern technique called seismic interferometry.<br \/>Combining our result with independent observations suggests that the low velocity body is likely to\u00a0represent a magma chamber. Our findings demonstrate the utility of seismic interferometry in imaging\u00a0a small scale feature with a size of less than 10 km.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/old\/wp-content\/outreach-old\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ronbun_volcano_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ronbun_volcano_1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/old\/wp-content\/outreach-old\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ronbun_volcano_1-453x420.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"420\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/old\/wp-content\/outreach-old\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ronbun_volcano_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ronbun_volcano_2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/old\/wp-content\/outreach-old\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ronbun_volcano_2-640x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seismic imaging of magma chamber beneath an active volcano Yutaka Nagaoka(JMA), Kiwamu Nishida, Yosuke Aoki, M &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/research\/256\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Seismic imaging of magma chamber beneath an active volcano&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256\/revisions\/257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
