Volcanic seismology represents the main, and often the only, tool to forecast volcanic
eruptions and to monitor the eruption process. This book describes the main types of seismic …

The Plinian phase of the May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens eruption is modeled as a steady
state discharge of dacitic magma from a reservoir at 7–10 km depth at a rate of 1.94× 107 …

Silicic volcanic activity has long been framed as either violently explosive or gently effusive.
However, recent observations demonstrate that explosive and effusive behavior can occur …

Among volcanoes reawakening after long repose intervals, the final approach to eruption (∼
1–10 days) is usually characterised by accelerating rates of seismicity. The observed …

Using long-term data sets, the eruptive size, timing and style can typically be successfully
forecast for dormant volcanoes using current monitoring data and knowledge of precursory …

The physical variables controlling crust-dominated lava flow have been investigated using
laboratory experiments in which molten polyglycol wax was extruded from a point source on …

High-resolution bathymetric mapping has shown that submarine flat-topped volcanic cones,
morphologically similar to ones on the deep sea floor and near mid-ocean ridges, are …

The eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat (1995–1999) has displayed a wide
range of volcanic phenomena: growth of an andesitic lava dome, generation of pyroclastic …

Ash flow deposits, containing up to 1000 km 3 of material, have been produced by some of
the largest volcanic eruptions known. Ash flows propagate several tens of kilometres from …
