Overview

By the year 2000, the population worldwide at risk from volcanic hazards is likely to increase to about half a billion. Since 1980, significant advances have been made in volcano monitoring, data from which provide the sole scientific basis for eruption prediction. In this text, internationally-renowned specialists in the field, provide 25 comprehensive articles covering a wide range of related topics on volcano monitoring, such as monitoring techniques and data analysis; modelling of monitoring data and eruptive phenomena; volcanic hazards and risk assessment; and volcanic emergency management. Reviews of selected case histories of recent volcanic disasters show that effective communication is vital to reducing volcanic risks.
