The most powerful volcanoes in the Solar System are not on Earth,
but on Io, a tiny moon of Jupiter. Whilst Earth and Io are the only
bodies in the Solar System to have active, high-temperature
volcanoes, those found on Io are larger, hotter, and more violent.
This, the first book dedicated to volcanism on Io, contains the
latest results from Galileo mission data analysis. As well as
investigating the different styles and scales of volcanic activity
on Io, it compares these volcanoes to their contemporaries on
Earth. The book also provides a background to how volcanoes form
and how they erupt, and explains quantitatively how remote-sensing
data from spacecraft and telescopes are analysed to reveal the
underlying volcanic processes. This richly illustrated book will be
a fascinating reference for advanced undergraduates, graduate
students and researchers in planetary sciences, volcanology, remote
sensing and geology.
