<b>Pinned Mesh Perturbation (PMP) method.</b>
Our PMP method estimates nonlinear volcano deformation source parameters in FEMs (e.g., position of a magma chamber) from InSAR data --<I>Elastic half-space models (e.g., Mogi) are no longer required for estimating volcano deformation source locations. </I> <A href="publications/2012MasterlarkJGR.pdf">PDF</A>
