Technical Abstract
The aim of this post-doctoral fellowship, financed 50% by the Earthquake Commission of New Zealand (EQC) and 50% by the European Commission, 6thFramework Project- VOLUME’ (VOLcanoes: Understanding subsurface Mass movEment), was to improve the analysis of ground deformation recorded during the last decades on New Zealand’s active volcanoes in order to better understand their functioning. Three main projects have been developed:
- Improving the identification of volcanic deformation in GPS arrays, with the example of the Tongariro National Park network
- Modelling the eruptive system of Taupo using lake leveling data recorded between 1979 and 2007.
- Modelling the eruptive system of White Island using leveling data recorded since 1967.
