Abstract
The problem of Earth surface deformation monitoring in regions of subsoil use and volcanic activity is considered. It is noted that available monitoring systems based on ground measurements and satellite technologies do not provide a complete solution of the deformation measurement problem. One promising direction in the field is related to the use of fiber-optic transducers. We suggest to use mathematical modeling results for assessing the applicability of these transducers. In the framework of the linear theory of elasticity, numerical results on Earth surface deformations were obtained for an averaged volcano model for various geometric parameters of the volcano source. An analysis of these results demonstrates that the use of fiber-optic transducers for volcanic activity recording and volcano eruption forecast is rather promising.
