Abstract
Most processes controlling volcanic activity involve underground mass redistribution (e.g., magma accumulation or withdrawal). Because of its unique ability to provide direct information on subsurface mass/density changes over time, gravimetry has important advantages over other volcano-monitoring techniques. As an example, if pre-eruptive magma accumulation occurs in voids, surface uplift or seismicity may not occur because the stress transmitted to the surrounding rock is not enough to induce fracturing or deformation; nevertheless, the addition of new mass would be associated with a gravity increase that may be measurable at the surface [1].
