    Abstract:
    The search for silicic magma in the upper crust is converging on the Long Valley Caldera of eastern California, where several lines of geophysical evidence show that an active magma chamber exists at mid- to lower-crustal depths. There are also other strong indications that magma may be present at depths no greater than about 5 km below the surface. The authors review the history of the search for magma at Long Valley. They also present the preliminary results from a coordinated suite of seismic experiments, conducted by a consortium of institutions in the summer and fall of 1984, that were designed to refine their knowledge of the upper extent of the magma chamber
