INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the international scientific commu-

nity has recognized the possibility of reducing and mitigating risks related to different natural hazards, using systematic study programs. Among these

hazards are volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods and landslides (CEES, 1992). According to recent

estimates, in the next 50 years more than one third of the world’s population will live in seismic and

volcanic areas (Bilham, 1988). The fact that this

decade has been declared the International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction, by the International Council of Scientific Unions, UNESCO and the World Bank, has generated a variety of programs for research into problems related to the prediction and mitigation of these disasters, mainly in Third World countries.

It should also be noted that one of the most promising ways of studying volcano- and earth-

quake-related phenomena is the use of high-pre- cision crustal deformation data, which are obtained with modern space-borne geodetic methods, in par- ticular GPS. These data need physical deformation models to deduce features of the medium. Such

models are also useful for estimating precursory phenomena, so that observation nets can be devel- oped in an optimum way. Normally, simple defor- mation models are used because of the simplicity of

calculating the inverse problem. However, some- times it is better to use models that are as realistic as possible, specifically when the physics of the source process must be ascertained.

We describe theoretical and computational

methods for the calculation of the deformation, gravity, potential and sea level changes due to a point source of magma injection into a layered elas- tic-gravitational Earth model. In the calculations we consider a medium composed of four distinct layers overlying a half-space. The source can be located in any of the layers or the half-space.

Rundle (1980, 1982) obtained and solved the

equations that represent the coupled elastic-gravita- tional problem for a stratified half-space of homo-

geneous layers, using the propagator matrix

technique (Thomson, 1950; Haskell, 1953; Gilbert and Backus, 1966) to obtain the surface solutions (potential and gravity changes and deformation). Rundle (198 1) developed the numerical formulation needed to compute these perturbations for the situ- ation of a single layer in welded contact with an in- finite half-space. Expressions for the kernels in the situation of two layers may be seen in Fernandez

232 J. Fernindez and others

(1992) and Fernandez and Rundle (1994a,b).

Solutions for media composed of more layers have

been obtained by Fernindez and Diez (1995).

In Fernandez and Rundle (1994b) the

FORTRAN program GRAVI used to compute the

solutions was described, presenting results obtained

for a point mass and a center of expansion located

at different depths in a medium composed of two

layers overlying a homogeneous half-space.

Fernrindez and Rundle (1994a) demonstrated that,

if the mantle is identified with the infinite half-

space, to use a homogeneous layer to represent the

earth’s crust may in some instances be too simple a

model. We must bear in mind the abundance of

different, mainly seismic, geophysical experiences

that demonstrate a clear vertical change of the

properties in the cortical models in volcanic areas

(e.g.. Banda and others, 1981; Zucca. Hill, and

Kovach, 1982; Abers, 1985; Elbring and Rundle,

1986; Rapolla. Fedi. and Fiume, 1989; Tilling and

Dvorak, 1993). Clearly it is better to approach this

change by using a stratified medium than by using

a homogeneous half-space. The changes in the med-

ium’s properties with depth may result in consider-

able changes to the magnitude and pattern of the

effects caused by a magmatic intrusion with regard

to those calculated for a homogenous half-space

(Roth, 1993; Fernlindez and Rundle, 1994a,b). As

an example we could consider the stratified cortical

model of the Island of Lanzarote, Canary Islands.

described by Fernindez and Rundle (1994a). and

also approach it by a homogenous medium with

elastic properties and density obtained as an aver-

age of the different values of the stratified medium.

Calculating the surface effects caused by a point

magmatic intrusion in both cortical models. the

differences for shallow intrusions are greater than

the present level of detection that can be reached

with the different geodetic techniques and instru-

ments used in volcano monitoring, and could be of

the order of metres in displacements and of various

mGal (IO-’ m s?) in gravity changes. Considering

these results. the model has been extended in differ-

ent aspects. The number of layers considered has

been increased from only one (Rundle, 1982) or

two (Fernindez and Rundle, 1994a,b), to three

(FernBndez and Diez, 1995) and four layers. New

effects associated with deformation. such as tilt and

vertical strain, are calculated. Also. a top water

layer can be considered, just as in the GRAVW

(Rundle, 1982) program, and in this manner the

medium would represent an oceanic crust, and sea

level changes produced by volcanic activity could

be calculated. All the developed codes compute the

same effects for the deformation model considered

(Rundle, 1980), but they differ in the number of layers to be considered overlying the half-space.

DEFORMATION MODEL

We use a model in which the Earth is represented as a stack of plane layers having both elastic prop-

erties and mass (Rundle, 1980, 1982), hence both

elasticity and self-gravitation are potentially import-

ant effects. The deformation, gravity, and potential

changes induced by a magmatic intrusion at (O,O,c)

are calculated. The equations that are satisfied by

the displacement vector u and perturbation poten-

tial 4 are given by Rundle (1980), who obtained a

general solution at : = 0 in the form

@=A4 -L J’ ~;(O)Jo(kr)k dk, and (2) 0

6g = -g = -M J’

where M is the intrusion’s mass, and .x:(O), y:(O),

oh(O) and q&O) are kernel functions depending on

wave number k and the properties of the medium.

PO and B. are vector functions that are given in

terms of the Bessel function of the first kind of

order zero Jo(kr), and PO = 4nGp0, with p. being

the density of layer 1. This solution can be shown

to be unique (Rundle, 1982). From Equation (1)

the expression for tilt changes can be obtained as

T(r) = 2 = -A4 I ‘m.y,!,(0)Jl(kr)k’ dk. (4)

and, also from Equation (l), we obtain the ex-

The matrix [a, a product of propagator matrices (layer matrices), is obtained using the solutions of the infinite space problem (Rundle, 1980). Vector [1;1 is a product of layer matrices with the jump dis- continuity vector [D]. Matrix [El is given by

where [a”] is the layer matrix (propagator matrix)

defined by Rundle (1980)

[N”] = [Z”(-c&)J[z”(o)]-I. (8)

The elements of the matrix [Zn(z)] are functions of k given by Rundle (1980, 1982) and Fernindez (1992). The vector [E;‘1 is defined by the product

[F] = [a’][a”] [a”‘][D], (9)

where a new layer boundary is introduced at depth c corresponding to the depth of the intrusion zrl = L’, and si corresponds to the division of the layer where the intrusion is located. The jump dis- continuity vector [O] for : = c is given in equations

(16)) (19) in Fernindez and Rundle (1994b). The

coefficients Ao,, BoP and Do,, are also given by their

equations ( I O)-( 15).

EXPLICIT SOLUTIONS FOR A GENERAL LAYERED

HALF-SPACE

The numerical formulation required to obtain the integration kernels for a layer overlying a half-space is described in Rundle (1981), though it differs slightly from the formulation described here and used in the GRAVW 1 program. The situation of

two layers overlying a half-space appears in Fernindez (1992) and Fernindez and Rundle (1994a,b). Since the numerical formulation required to obtain the explicit solutions in the situation of more than two layers overlying the half-space has not been published, we will explain this briefly and in a general way for a layered half-space formed by p layers, specifying the results in the situations of p = 3 and 4.

As in Rundle (197s) and Fernandez and Rundle (1994b), matrix [Z”(z)] can be expressed as

[Z”(=)] = ([A”(z)] + [B’(c)]ee2”‘)e” (IO)

being the elements of matrices [A”(z)] and [B”(c)] given by Fernandez (1992). Consequently matrix [a”] is given by

[all] = ([M !‘] + [N U]e-?k~l!‘)ek&, (11)

For a p-layered half-space, layer p + I being the bottom homogeneous half-space, matrix [a has the

expression

[El = (f-p’l)Lzwl~ (12)

which, considering Equations (10) and (1 I ), gives

[E] = fPH(jJE~‘]ez~). (13)

where nP = 3, 7, 15, 31 for p = 1, 2, 3, 4 respect- ively, and in general, n,, = 2”+’ - 1. For p = 1, Z, are ZI = 0, Zl = -2kH, 23 = -4H. For p = 2

they are given by Fernindez and Rundle (1994a,b). For p = 3 and 4 they are given in Table I.

The expression of vector [fl will depend on the layer where the intrusion is located. For an intru-

sion in layer k, [Fj is given by

[F] = F[F;]eDk,. (14)

where mr = 2”. Dk,$ for k = 1, 2 and 3 is given by

Fernindez and Rundie (1994a,b). The correspon- ding coefficients for k = 4 and 5 are given in rou- tines CK10L4 and CKlOLS, in arrays DF. of GRAVW4 listing code. It is also necessary to know E$, and E&, defined in Fern;indez and Rundle

(1994a) to calculate the kernel functions. Following

Rundle (1981) _t$ can be expressed as a sum of products of k functions multiplied by exponentials in the form

p again being the number of layers of the half-space and R, = 5. The functions EL,,,, and exponents G,?

are computed in the subroutines that calculate the

integration kernels (CKIOLI, CKlOL2, CK10L3, CK10L4 or CKlOLS, depending on the layer where

the intrusion is located). El:k can be expressed as a function of the layer where the magmatic intrusion

is located and the number of layers of the medium in a similar way,

,y’/ = e2hH FA (16)

where NMk = nhmk.The coefficients Tk,, are also

obtained in the subroutines that compute the inte- gration kernels. Ekk,i, functions are calculated in the

routines EFA, EFB, EFC, EFD and EFE for the situations of intrusion in layer one, two, three, four and five, respectively, in each code.

The expressions required for (k&, - E6i) and (kFs - Fb) are

kEs, - Eh, = e2iH($E&iez,), (17)

with

E ;6i = kE;, - I?;,; (18)

is denoted by I?$, and

kF5 - F6 = xFf,,eD”,‘. (.=I

(19)

being

F;,, = k(F;), - (F;)6. (20)

Using Equations (lo)-(20) it is possible to calcu-

late A03, B03, 003, with which the kernels can be obtained. It is obvious that the expressions for Aol,

Bos, 003, depend on the location of the intrusion. By way of example, the general form for the kernel

.&O) in the situation of an intrusion located in layer k is

where element F, (i = 1, 2, 5 and 6) appears multi- plied and divided by r given by (Fernandez and Rundle, 1994a,b),

r = A/e6’H, (22)

with A given by equation (90d) of Rundle (1980). The sum of functions that multiply ek” must be zero for convergence in Equation (21) and advantage is taken of this by setting them equal to zero (for more details see Rundle (1981) and Fernandez and Rundle (1994b)).

EXISTENCE OF A WATER LAYER

The presence of a top water layer in these calcu-

lations necessarily modifies the boundary conditions taken into account at the surface (Rundle, 1982). Instead of requiring null elastic traction for z = 0 (Rundle, 1980) the change of tractions must be con- sidered to be caused by the redistribution of water as a consequence of the deformation. Thus the ver- tical component of traction in surface z = 0. T,(O),

has the following expression (Rundle. 1982)

T,(O) = -&Vgu;(O) + P,$(-D,). (23)

The first term, -pwgu,(0), is the traction caused by the additional weight of the water column of alti- tude u,(O). The minus sign is due to the fact that z is positive downwards in the medium, while traction

is defined positive along the normal to the surface outwards. The second term, p,+(-D,), is the weight of the water column that is originated by sea potential changes in z = -D,. Consequently, the traction condition is

2kx-A(O) + p,gxA(O) - pwwi(0)e-hD” = 0 (24)

[this equation must replace equation (28) of Rundle (1982) where an equal sign appears instead of the minus sign between the second and third terms on the left side of equation]. This affects the definition of the integration kernels in the equations, see Rundle (1982). The effects of the existence of a water layer on the integration kernels through matrix [a and vector [fl are considered in the CALKRN routine after calling the subroutines that compute both arrays.

NUMERICAL INTEGRATION OF THE KERNELS

The main problem found in the integration pro-

cess of the kernels function is that the existence of a pole or poles on the real axis depends on the values of the elastic moduli adopted. If a pole is present, it always occurs with a gravitational wave number and close to the associated k,, given by equation (2.16) of Rundle (1981). The technique used to solve this problem was described by Rundle (1981) and Fernindez and Rundle (1994b). Fernandez, Yu and Rundle (I 996) and Yu, Rundle, and Fernindez (1996) demonstrate that the integration around the poles does not contribute an important part to the final solution, therefore it is possible to determine

the existence of poles and to compute more than

one integral in k. The way to solve the problem is

to make the kernels equal to zero when these tend

to infinity. This can be done by using the same

technique as Yu. Rundle, and Fernindez (1996).

which we apply in the subroutine AKNINT of the

programs.

Figure I shows different effects caused by a cen-

ter of expansion of strength pa”. where p is the

increment of pressure in 0.1 MPa and a is the

radius in km. Figure 2 shows the same effects com-

puted for a point mass of 1 MU. The effects dis-

played in both figures have been computed using

the GRAVI program (Fernandez and Rundle,

1994b). with poles calculation. and GRAVWZ,

without poles calculation. The source is supposed

to be located at 5 km depth in the first layer of an

Earth model composed by two layers overlying the

mantle. Both layers are 10 km thick. Densities are

2600, 2900 and 3300 kg m-s for layer one. two and

half-space respectively. Both Lame parameters for

layers and half-space are considered equal to

3 x IO’? Pa.

We see clearly that suppressing poles compu-

tation and the integration around them, if any exist,

causes no important afteration in the computed

effects, as can be observed in the example. The

differences are of the order of the numerical accu- racy or even smaller, I mm in displacements and

1 pGal for gravity changes (Fernindez and Rundle.

1994a). By eliminating these calculations we can shorten the code, removing the subroutines POLCAL, POLDEC, POLINT, FKERN and ZBRENT, which are now no longer necessary and which were used in program GRAVl to carry out these processes. A large part of the subroutine GFINT has also been removed. This is due to the fact that in GRAVI program it could have been necessary to perform more than one integral, depending on the number of poles; now, with these modifications, a single integral will always be calcu- lated from k = IO-’ (~0) to k,,, which is given in equation (49) in Fernandez and Rundle (1994b). By computing this integral, we use a logarithmic par- tition of the kernel which is given in expressions (45)-(46) of the same paper.

GRAVW PROGRAMS SET

Using the expressions described, different FORTRAN-77 programs have been developed for the situations of one, two, three and four layers over a homogeneous half-space. The programs are named in general GRAVW PROGRAMS SET. This set is formed by GRAVWI, GRAVWZ, GRAVW3 and GRAVW4 programs. The number included in the name of the program indicates the number of layers considered in the program. We have used previous existing codes, GRAVW (Rundle, 1982) and GRAVl (Ferncindez and Rundle, 1994a,b) for the situations of one and two layers, respectively. Some improvements, apart from the aforementioned changes in the integration

the program in next section). They are similar to the files described in Fernindez and Rundle (1994b) for GRAVl program but now also include the characteristic of a possible top water layer.

Therefore the data are as follows: the characteristics of the crustal model (layer thicknesses. Lame con-

stants and densities), magma intrusion character- istics (radius, pressure and depth), thickness and density of the water layer, and the X, Y coordi- nates, or radial distance r, of the points where we

want to compute the effects. The units used for the program for data input are km (IO” m) for dis- tances, 10s kg me3 for densities, lOI Pa for elastic

parameters, lOI kg (MU) for mass and 0.1 MPa for pressure values.

We use the NAMELIST statement for the data input. In Table 4, H, Dl, D2, D3 and D4 are layer thicknesses. AMU, ALAM, AMUZ, ALAM2, AMU3, ALAM3, and AMU4, ALAM are the

Lame constants for layers 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively, ALAMl, AMUl are the same quantities for the half-space, YSTART is the first value of Y coordi-

nate, DYOBS the increment on Y, X the considered value for this coordinate, NNY is the number of

different Y coordinates. If INDIC is greater than zero the programs read individual points. RHOL, RHOLZ, RHOL3 and RHOL4 correspond to the layer densities and RHOH to the density of the half-space. We can suppress the gravity effect by setting RHOFCT equal to a small value (for example, lo-‘). NSTEP is the number of integration intervals for Green function integration. DWATER is the thickness of the possible water layer and RHOW is the water density. If they are equal to zero the water layer is not considered. PMAGMA, RMAGMA and AMASS are pressure increment,

radius and mass of the intrusion, respectively. The output of the program consists of four files,

three of which are similar to the files described in Fernindez and Rundle (1994b) for the program GRAVl. In one file the characteristics of the crustal model and magma intrusion are written, together with the various effects computed for each point, shown in Table 5 (the numerical values that appear in the table corresponds to the output for the data shown in Table 4). Another file, useful for plotting the effects, gives coordinates of radial distances, ver- tical displacement. radial displacement, tilt, vertical

strain, surface gravity change, free-air gravity

change, Bouguer gravity change and sea level change in columns, see Table 6. The third output file contains the values of the kernel differences, X,, - X,, as shown in figures l-2 by Fernindez and Rundle (1994b). The fourth output file compares the results with the results corresponding to a homogeneous half-space with the same character- istics as the layer where the intrusion is located. This file is similar to the file displayed in Table 6. The programs use different subprograms from the IMSL library (IMSL, 1982).

TESTING OF THE PROGRAMS

The results obtained using GRAVWl,

GRAVWZ. GRAVW3 and GRAVW4 programs have been tested by comparing the results obtained in two limiting situations, in the same way as GRAVl program was tested by Fernandez and Rundle (1994a). The first situation is one where all

the layers have the same physical characteristics but are different from those of the underlying half- space, the results being compared with those

obtained using the GRAVW program used by Rundle (1982). The second situation, where both layers and the half-space have the same physical characteristics, produced the same results as in the situation of a homogeneous half-space.

The results obtained for the first situation are shown in Figure 4, where the results obtained using the GRAVW PROGRAMS SET are compared with those obtained using the GRAVW code (Rundle, 1982). The figure shows vertical displace- ment (ui_), free-air gravity (grJ and sea level (SL) changes due to a point mass located in media com- posed of one, two, three, and four layers overlying a homogeneous half-space, with a 3 km thick water layer above. A 1000 kg m-j density is considered. Source is located in the first layer at 1 km depth. All layers are considered to have the same proper- ties, with the density being pi = 2670 kg rnd3 and Lame parameters j+_ = pL = 3 x 10’” N rn-‘. A density value of pH = 3300 kg rne3, and elastic par- ameters & = 3 x lOI N me2 and &i = IO9 Nrn-’ are assumed for the half-space. All these calcu- lations would represent a stage some time after the active intrusion process, where the fluid properties

of the half-space (asthenosphere) have been taken into account in the considered shear modulus.

The results for the second situation are rep- resented in Figure 5, showing vertical and horizon- tal displacements, tilt and vertical strain produced by a center of expansion of strength pa3 located at 5 km depth in a homogeneous half-space and false layered half-spaces having the same reference den- sity and elastic properties. These characteristics are p = 3300 kg m-3 , i = p = 3.1012 N mv2. In this situation, no water layer is considered. The compu- tations shown in Fig. 5 represent the effects pro- duced during the active intrusion process.

Once again, it will be noticed for both tests that the differences between the effects computed by each code, assuming identical sources and medium, is of negligible order, smaller than the accuracies mentioned previously. A brief comment must be made on the difference found in Fig. 3 between the sea level changes computed by GRAVWQ code and the rest of the programs. Although it stands out in the graph, this difference is of the order of 0.1 mm or less, caused probably by the accumulation of rounding and numerical errors in computations. These errors are much bigger if this code is used, because the number of calculations carried out is also larger, since this increases exponentially with the quantity of layers considered for the medium. Figures 4 and 5 show clearly that this difference is only detectable in this situation, where sea level changes are of the order of accuracy for displace- ments.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The importance of including gravity can be seen from the example in Fig. 6. This figure shows verti- cal and horizontal deformation, tilt and gravity changes due to a center of expansion (ce) and a point mass (mp), both located at 6 km depth in the Lanzarote crustal model composed of two layers over the mantle. See Fernandez and Rundle (1994a) for model properties. It can be seen that gravita- tional effects are not significant for displacements and tilt at the surface. The contribution to the total effect (in the situations of displacement and tilt) of the intrusion mass (mp in Fig. 6) is almost null compared to the contribution made by the pressure changes (ce in Fig. 6). If we suppress the effect of the gravitational field, giving RHOFCT a small value, for example 10-3, we get gravity change and deformation values similar to those displayed in Figure 6 for a center of expansion. This is consist- ent with the results obtained by Rundle (1980), who shows that gravitational effects in ground defor- mation become significant over wavelengths greater than 1000 km, but have little effect on deformation in the near source region. As shown in Figure 6, this is not the situation for surface gravity change,

where the mass of the intrusion is significant and the effect may be important. Therefore it is seen that gravity field is important for modeling and understanding the observed gravity change data. This effect is also important if we consider visco- elastic properties for the medium. Hofton, Rundle, and Foulger (1995) show that the effects of gravity produce important differences in the displacement fields when long intervals of time are considered. Their model predicts the presence of a long wave- length component in the post-diking deformation field following a single event.

The effect of vertical structure is discussed by Fernindez and Rundle (1994a), who show that de- viations of the displacements in a layered medium from those in a homogeneous half-space are affected more heavily by variations in elastic moduli than by changes in layer reference densities. Thus, variations in strain contribute more to gravity changes than do variations in density. Taking into account the same media, they attempted to test the influences of changes in elastic properties on the computed effects (see Table 7), and by way of example we have carried out the computations for tilt at the same depths as in their figures 2. 3 and 4. The results obtained are shown in Figure 7. They confirm the results obtained by Fernandez and Rundle (1994a). Similar results are obtained for ver- tical strain.

Figure 8 presents displacements, tilt, vertical strain, free air gravity and sea level changes occur- ring a long time after the active intrusion process in the layered medium described in Table 8. We con- sider a center of expansion located in the third layer of the medium, at 13 km depth. The con- sidered pressure increment is 10’ MPa, and the radius is 1 km. The considered value for the shear modulus of the bottom half-space (asthenosphere), lo6 Pa, would indicate the relaxation produced a long time after the intrusion process.

Moreover, using deformation models and knowl- edge of previous volcanic activity, we can predict changes in the deformation and gravity patterns that precede an eruption. Prediction may allow early detection of eruptive activity and thus possible mitigation of risk (Fernandez and Diez, 1995). To carry this out, inversion of the model will be necess- ary.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

This paper deals with the numerical implemen- tation of a mathematical technique for the calcu- lation of ground deformation, gravity and potential changes caused by a point source magma intrusion into an elastic-gravitational multilayered earth model using the model described by Rundle (1980). Rundle (1982) and Fernindez and Rundle (1994a,b). We have developed FORTRAN-77 pro-

grams, named GRAVWl, GRAVWZ, GRVW3 and GRVW4, that solve the problem for a medium

formed by one, two, three and four layers overlying a half-space, respectively.

As regards numerical calculation, one of the

main problems found in previous works (Rundle, 198 1; Fernindez and Rundle, 1994b) has been eliminated by removing poles computation and inte-

gration around them, if any. This has reduced the number of lines of code considerably. as well as the execution time. This reduction is important in the situation of codes that consider more than two layers overlying the half-space, which are larger,

since all different situations are taken into account, and they need a longer execution time as a result of an exponential increase of the number of calcu-

lations in relation to the number of layers. To

attain a higher level of accuracy in the numerical computations, the subroutines that calculate the

inverse matrices have been changed from those of the GRAVI code. Again. the precision of the calcu- lated results is of the same order as in Fernindez

and Rundle (1994a,b).

All the codes forming GRAVW PROGRAMS SET are similar in the sense that they perform the

same computations using the same numerical pro- cedures. New effects are now computed (tilt and

vertical strain), others have been extended to all codes and situations (sea level changes) and the number of source locations has increased (see

Table 1). A maximum of four layers has been con- sidered. In Ferm’mdez and Rundle (1994a) the model was tested in relation to the changes in the

elastic parameters and densities. In this paper the effect of the gravity field has been taken into account, and it has been found that it can be funda- mental to adjust and to explain properly the gravity changes measured in active zones. Also. consider-

ation of the gravity field is necessary for compu- tation of altitude changes with regard to an equipotential surface if we wish to obtain ortho- metric and geometric gravity gradients that are sen- sitive to the dynamics of the intrusion processes (Rundle. 1982).

An example where this model has been applied to adjust and interpret real data, with regard to Kilauea volcano, may be seen in Rundle (1982). considering a stratified medium of a single layer overlying the half-space. In future works we shall look at the adjustment of gravity and deformation

data, and how to solve the inverse problem for the parameters of the model considering the cortical structure is known, in active areas such as Long Valley Caldera, California (see for example Jachens and Roberts, 1985; Dixon, Farina, and Mao, 1995; Langbein and others, 1995).

It is also known that ground deformation is an

important precursor for long-dormant volcanoes. The use of deformation models can thus be a powerful tool for the design of techniques for moni- toring volcanic deformation, especially when there is no information on prior episodes of ground de- formation. For this application. the most realistic model would be necessary, and the point source considered here is only a first step (Delaney and McTigue, 1994). The programs described are avail- able to the scientific community via anonymous FTP from the server IAMG.ORG.
