Magnetic measurements and volcanic activity: Soufriere 1976
Abstract
A study of Soufriere, a volcano on Guadeloupe, by magnetic measurements showed that the volcanic manifestations and the effects measured by high sensitivity differential magnetometry are correlated. The correlation is quite sharp, and even such weak manifestations as ash emissions are perceived. The most natural interpretation of the observations is based on piezomagnetism. The principle itself of phreatic manifestations, the dynamics of the phenomenon, observed ground deformations and the order of magnitude of the effect are favorable in this sense.
