Lateral magma flow in mafic sill complexes

We benefitted from discussions with many Earth scientists in different disciplines over the years; we particularly thank Ken Thomson, Donny Hutton, Brian O’Driscoll, Mike Petronis, Ken McDermott, Derek Keir, Ben van Wyk de Vries, and Davie Brown for their insights. We thank Schlumberger for software and data provision, and Department of Communications, Energy, and Natural Resources (Petroleum Affairs Division) in Ireland, Geoscience Australia, and PGS (Petroleum Geo-Services) for provision of seismic data. This work was completed as part of Magee’s Junior Research Fellowship funded by Imperial College London. Muirhead acknowledges support from Fulbright New Zealand and the Ministry of Science and Innovation. We thank Shan de Silva for his editorial handling of the manuscript and Tyrone Rooney, Agust Gudmundsson, and Mattia Pistone for the time and effort they put in to their constructive reviews

Seismic scattering and absorption mapping of debris flows, feeding paths, and tectonic units at Mount St. Helens volcano

Acknowledgments We thank Edoardo Del Pezzo, Ludovic Margerin, Haruo Sato, Mare Yamamoto, Tatsuhiko Saito, Malcolm Hole, and Seth Moran for the valuable suggestions regarding the methodology and interpretation. Greg Waite provided the P wave velocity model of MSH. An important revision of the methods was done after two blind reviews performed before submission. The suggestions of two anonymous reviewers greatly enhanced our ability of imaging structures, interpreting our results, and testing their reliability. The facilities of the IRIS Data Management System, and specifically the IRIS Data Management Center, were used for access to waveform and metadata required in this study, and provided by the Cascades Volcano Observatory – USGS. Interaction with geologists and geographers part of the Landscape Dynamics Theme of the Scottish Alliance for Geoscience, Environment and Society (SAGES) has been important for the interpretation of the results.
