Villarrica Tomography (VITO)

The Villarrica Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in South America and is located in a major tourism region. A dense temporal seismological network was installed to investigate the volcanic seismicity and the seismic structure of the edifice with seismic traveltime tomography at high spatial resolution. The network was in operation for 2 weeks from 01.03.2012 to 14.03.2012. It consisted of 30 three-component and 45 one-component short period seismographs covering an area of about 2000 km2. The covered area has a diameter of 45 km and includes the volcanic building.
