| Abstract | Prior to volcanic eruptions magma rises through the crust, most commonly within narrow fractures known as “dikes.” Dike ascent is often accompanied by small earthquakes and deformation of the ground surface which can be detected by ground-based, and in some cases space-based sensors. Not all dikes lead to eruptions; in some cases, they stall and the magma solidifies without erupting. To properly interpret seismic and deformation signals and provide societally-relevant eruption warnings, we must |
