With the use of the method of low-frequency microseismic sounding, the configuration of the magmatic feeding system of the Tolbachinsky Dol—a regional zone of areal basaltic volcanism in the southern part of the Klyuchevskoy volcano group in Kamchatka—is studied. The initial data are obtained by a step-by-step recording of the background microseismic noise in 2010–2015 within a thoroughly marked-out survey area covering the zones of fissure eruptions in 1975–1976 and 2012–2013 and, partly, the edifice of thePloskii (flat) Tolbachik volcano. The depth sections ref lecting the distributions of the relative velocities of seismic waves in the Earth’s crust are constructed. For a more reliable interpretation of the revealed deep anomalies, the results of independent geological and geophysical studies are used. The ascertained low-velocity structures are closely correlated to the manifestations of present-day volcanism. It is shown that the feeding structure of the Tolbachinsky Dol is spatially heterogeneous, incorporating subvertical and lateral pipe-shaped magma conduits, closely spaced magma feeding channels, and shallow magma reservoirs. A long-lived local transcrustal magma conducting zone is revealed, and regularities in the deep structure of the feeding systems of fissure eruptions are identified. The configuration of the established subvertical magma conduits permits basalts moving to rise to the surface by different paths, which, inter alia, explains the contrasting magma compositions observed during a single eruption. Thus, based on the instrumental data, it is shown that the magmatic feeding structure of the Tolbachinsky Dol has a number of specific peculiarities and is significantly more complicated than has been previously thought about the areal volcanic fields.

По данным микросейсмического зондирования построена глубинная модель среды под районом Узон-Гейзерной вулкано-тектонической депрессии и прилежащего к ней вулканического массива Кихпиныч (Камчатка) до глубины 30 км. Для этого была осуществлена регистрация естественного фонового микросейсмического поля переносными широкополосными сейсмометрами Guralp CMG-6TD в точках специально спланированной наблюдательной сети: в 60-ти точках вдоль трех профилей общей длиной около 28 км. Выявленные структурные неоднородности проинтерпретированы с учетом известных ранее результатов геологических, геолого-морфологических и петрологических исследований. Идентифицирована и пространственно локализована область малоглубинного закристаллизовавшегося магматического очага под депрессией. Выявлены области предположительной концентрации базальтовых расплавов, с которыми может быть связана наблюдающаяся в последние ~ 15 лет локальная геодинамическая активизация исследуемого района: периферический магматический очаг вулканического массива Кихпиныч на глубине 5-12 км, более глубокая (15-20 км) магматическая камера. Получено согласие геометрии обнаруженных глубинных структур с локальной микросейсмичностью и моделью современного магматического внедрения в верхние горизонты коры, разработанной по данным спутниковой интерферометрии.

Abstract—This paper is concerned with ground deformation and seismicity prior to the Tolbachik Fissure Eruption, which began in Kamchatka on November 27, 2012. Seismic and GPS data were analyzed to reveal synchronous precursory anomalies in crustal deformation and seismicity that lasted approximately 4 months (August to November 2012). The seismic anomaly was a statistically significant increase of seismicity with low energy (mostly KS = 4–6) beneath the Ploskii Tolbachik Volcano edifice at depths of less than 5 km. The rates of seismicity and seismic energy release were exceeded by factors of approximately 40 compared with the
2000–2011 mean values during the 2 to 3 weeks immediately before the eruption. The strain anomalies were observed as movements in the middle of the Klyuchevskoy volcanic group: a radial (relative to the eruption) compression and an extension in the tangential direction. The strain had reached ~ 10^–7 by the beginning of the eruption. The durations of the seismic and strain anomalies were comparable in value (~ 4 months before the eruption), thus providing evidence of a common origin. We can classify them as belonging to the same time scale of precursors (the intermediate�term in the accepted terminology).

В работе приведена информация о минеральных парагенезисах, сформировавшихся в двух различных поствулканических обстановках: на поверхности термального поля и вокруг бескорневых сольфатар пирокластического потока.
