Over the past 25 years, our understanding of the physical processes that drive volcanic
eruptions has increased enormously thanks to major advances in computational and …

More than 800 million people live in proximity to active volcanoes and could be directly
impacted by potential eruptions. Mitigation of future volcanic hazards requires adequate …

How a volcano has behaved throughout its past is a guide to its future behaviour. Detailed
knowledge of what preceded eruptions from specific volcanoes, and how this can be …

Super-eruptions are extremely rare events. Indeed, the global frequency of explosive
volcanic eruptions is inversely proportional to the volume of magma released in a single …

Volcanism has affected the environment of our planet over a broad range of spatial (local to
global) and temporal (< 1 yr to 100s Myr) scales and will continue to do so. As well as …

Most volcanoes erupt both effusively and explosively, with explosive behaviour being
responsible for most human fatalities. Eruption style is thought to be strongly controlled by …

Explosive volcanic eruptions constitute a major class of natural hazard with potentially
profound economic and societal consequences. Although such eruptions cannot be …

Fundamentals of Physical Volcanology is a comprehensive overview of the processes that
control when and how volcanoes erupt. Understanding these processes involves bringing …

A major challenge in volcanology is determining the factors that control the frequency and
magnitude of eruptions at hazardous caldera volcanoes. Understanding the critical …

During the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull on Iceland in April/May 2010, air traffic over Europe
was repeatedly interrupted because of volcanic ash in the atmosphere. This completely …
