The Reykjanes Peninsula at Iceland's southwestern edge is the country's most volcanically active. In 2024, sensing technology developed at Caltech was deployed in the region to study the motion of subsurface magma & its eruption into lava on the surface.

New paper in AGU Advances! We constrained models of dike opening in the recent Icelandic eruptions through observations of dv/v on DAS.

Thank you to the many co-authors who made it possible, especially my advisor Zhongwen Zhan.
