Forecasting the location of an eruption is of primary importance for risk management in volcanic regions. Locating the underground structural changes associated with a potential eruption is also a key issue to better understand the dynamics at work in a volcano. Using recent results in wave physics, we develop an imaging procedure that is based on the sensitivity of multiply scattered waves to weak changes in heterogeneous media. This procedure allows to locate changes in both mechanical and scattering properties of the studied medium. We study ambient seismic noise from 19 broadband stations at the active volcano Piton de la Fournaise on Reunion Island, recorded from June to December 2010. During this period, two volcanic eruptions occurred at two different locations. We calculate the noise cross correlations and study two types of changes in the coda: apparent velocity variations related to changes in the elastic properties of the medium; and, waveform decoherence associated with variations in the scattering, and thus the geological structures. We observe that the temporal variations of both of these parameters provide potential precursors of volcanic eruptions at Piton de la Fournaise. The locations determined from the preeruptive and coeruptive changes in both parameters are in good agreement with the actual eruptive activities. These data demonstrate that the coda of ambient noise correlations contains deterministic information on the locations of the eruptive processes in an active volcano. Our analysis offers an original and significant constraint for the localization of forthcoming volcanic eruptions.
