7. Using GPS to Monitor Volcanoes: From Field Data to Modeling
Workshop conveners/affiliations/emails:
Maurizio Battaglia, USGS/VDAP, Sapienza – UniRoma
Mike Lisowski, US Geological Survey
Kyle Anderson, US Geological Survey

Description of workshop:
The precise measurement of ground deformation using GPS is now an essential tool to monitor volcanic unrest, and mathematical models of how a volcano deform are required to characterize driving processes and constrain the source location, depth and volume change.
This pre-conference workshop will focus on four scientific and technical themes
- Lisowski - Designing a GPS network optimized for monitoring, data processing and modelling
- Battaglia - Introduction to modeling volcanic deformation
- Battaglia - Modeling volcanic deformation with dMODELS
- Anderson - Physics based models of volcanic deformation
dMODELS, a free USGS software to model crustal deformation near active faults
and volcanic centers [pubs.usgs.gov/tm/13/b1/], will be distributed to participants
Requirements of participants:
Participants will need a laptop (OS either Windows or Linux) with the latest version of the free Matlab Runtime installed. The Matlab Runtime is available online at www.mathworks.com/products/
