Caldera resurgence during the 2018 eruption of Sierra Negra volcano, Galápagos Islands

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:44:00 +0100nature-ncomms (en)

Recent large basaltic eruptions began after only minor surface uplift and seismicity, and resulted in caldera subsidence. In contrast, some eruptions at Galápagos Island volcanoes are preceded by prolonged, large amplitude uplift and elevated seismicity. These systems also display long-term intra-caldera uplift, or resurgence.
