Long term surface deformation of Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat from GPS geodesy : inferences from simple elastic inverse models by Herd, Richard A., Strutt, Michael H., Ryan, Graham., Widiwijayanti, Christina., Voight, Barry., Mattioli, Glen.

“…Campaign and continuous GPS geodetic measurements on Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat are reported from 1995 to 2009, spanning three dome growth and repose episodes. Uniform elastic half-space inversions were used to examine how crustal pressure sources evolved by inverting subsets of all available 3D site data for any given episode using a single Mogi-source. …”
