Forskare från Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris och GFZ Helmholtz Centre har skapat en metod för Jerk-upptäckt som identifierar subtila markrörelser från magma-intrång med en enda bredbandsseismometer. Testad under ett decennium vid Piton de la Fournaise på La Réunion förutspådde systemet 92 procent av 24 utbrott mellan 2014 och 2023, med varningar från minuter till åtta timmar i förväg. Ungefär 14 procent av varningarna upptäckte magmarörelser utan efterföljande utbrott.
