While volcanoes have been extensively examined, delving into the intricacies of underlying magma transport remains a formidable challenge. Grant Block, a graduate student in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at The University of New Mexico, recently conducted a comprehensive investigation of the Socorro Magma Body (SMB) in Socorro, New Mexico. This research provides valuable insights into magmatic processes crucial to volcanic activity, despite the absence of such activity directly above the SMB.
