Geophysical and volcanological insights into the subsurface morphology and eruptive histories of complex maar volcanoes within the Newer Volcanics Province, Western Victoria (original) (raw)

This study employs forward and inverse geophysical modeling to explore the subsurface morphology and eruptive histories of maar volcanoes in the Newer Volcanics Province of Western Victoria. Key findings reveal complex diatreme structures, highlighting the influence of hosting sediments on the volcano's final shape, as well as correlations between gravity and magnetic anomalies with subsurface features such as magma ponds and dykes. The research enhances the understanding of volcanic processes and potential hazards associated with these systems.
