In addition to enabling the physical processes of volcanic systems to be better understood, seismology has been also used to infer the complexity of magma pathways and plumbing systems in steep-sided andesitic and stratovolcanoes. However, in these volcanic environments, the application of seismic location methods is particularly challenging and systematic comparisons of common methods are lacking. Furthermore, little is known about the characteristic seismicity and deep structure of Lascar volcano, one of the most historically active volcanoes in northern Chile known to produce VEI-4 eruptions. To better understand the inner processes and deep structure of Lascar, the local broad-band seismic monitoring network was densified during a temporal installation in 2014-2015. Herein, we focus on the local seismicity during the 2014-2015 unrest episode, during which we recorded numerous seismic events mainly classified as long-period (LP) type, but also denote volcano-tectonic (VT) activity. Specifically, a long-lasting phase of LP activity is observed over a period of similar to 14 months that starts in tandem with a pulse of VT activity. The LP rate and amplitude are modulated over time; they are lower in the initial phase, rise during the intermediate period from October 2014 to July 2015, and finally slowly decay while approaching the eruption time. The location of LPs is challenging due to the typical lack of clear seismic onsets. We thus encompass this problem by comparing a broad range of different standard and novel location techniques to map the source region of LPs by fitting the amplitude decay, polarization patterns, coherence of characteristic functions and cross-correlation differential times. As a result, we principally constrain LP locations within the first 5 km depth below the summit extending downward along a narrow, conduit-like path. We identify different regions of complexity: VTs dominate at depth, both VTs and LPs cluster in an intermediate depth region (down to 1.5 km), suggesting a change in the plumbing system geometry, and LPs dominate the shallowest region. Based on these results, we infer the presence of a subvertical conduit extending down to a depth of similar to 5 km, and a region of path divergence, possibly accommodating a magma plumbing system, at a depth of similar to 3 km beneath the volcano summit. Identifying the locations of complexities in the magma pathways at Lascar may help identify future unrest. The results are compared with independent observations, demonstrating the strength of the location method used herein that will be tested at volcanoes elsewhere.
