	Distribution of magma beneath the Toba caldera complex, north Sumatra, Indonesia, constrained by three-dimensional P ...
		We estimate the one- and three-dimensional P wave velocity structure beneath the Toba caldera complex, a 30 × 100 km topographic depression in North Sumatra, using arrival time data of local earthquakes recorded by a 40-station seismic network that operated for 4 months.
		A smaller volume of low velocities is observed in the upper crust under the north end of the depression.
		Separating the two regions is a zone of locally high velocities, indicating that the shallow, subcaldera magma system is composed of two separate reservoirs, not a single one that extends the entire length of the caldera complex.
