Popis: Improving our understanding of volcanic hazards requires better knowledge of the location, volume and properties of magma bodies in the roots of active volcanoes, as well as information on melt supply and magma transfer. This requires a good understanding of both the geometric structure of the volcanic and igneous plumbing system, as well as observations of sub-surface magma movements and their interpretation. Arrival of new magma in volcano roots often causes volcanic unrest expressed by one or more of the following: increased seismicity, ground deformation, volcanic gas release and ground temperature changes. Recent eruptions and magmatic events in Iceland have provided opportunities to apply repeated geodetic observations at volcanoes to measure ground deformation and interpret these measurements together with seismic observations in terms of subsurface magmatic processes.
