    Constraint from displacement data on magma flux at Merapi volcano, Java

    ObjectivesFrom deformation field analysis, we solve the boundaryconditions common to the solid mechanics and themagma flux problems: internal structures geometry(plumbing system), pressure, stress and volumevariations. The study also allows a better appraisal ofmonitoring measurements, thus helps hazardmitigation.

    MethodologyWe focus our study on Mt. Merapi, Java, Indonesia, aDecade Volcano with a quasi continuous activity: domegrowth, explosions and pyroclastic flows. Deformationfield measurement come from GPS network and multi-component continuous stations (tiltmeters andextensometers). Data are always validated bycompensation to determine uncertainties. For modeling,we use three-dimensional elasto-static boundaryelements [Cayol & Cornet, 1997] including topography,fractures and complex geometry sources. Inversionprocesses are used to estimate parameter evolution andmodel probability from observations.

    Some conclusions Combination of high-precision tilt, displacements

    and topography constrains the modeling

    Evidence for a deep magma chamber at Merapi

    Evidence for fracture existence and theirimplications on the summit deformation field

    Compatibility of displacement observations andmulti-phase seismic events: summit deformationfield is controlled by magma flux

    Apparent elastic behaviour, but Youngs modulusless than 1 GPa (possibly linear visco-elastic reality)

    Mass balance must include rock avalanches

Because in elasticity, P V displacements,we avoid the difficult task of Youngs modulus estimation, and resolve only the volumevariation of the source. Superficial magma chamber has been proposed from seismicobservations but is not compatible with our deformation data.
