This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of volcanic
crisis research, the goal being to establish ways of successfully
applying volcanology in practice and to identify areas that need to
be addressed for future progress. It shows how volcano crises are
managed in practice, and helps to establish best practices.
Consequently the book brings together authors from all over the
globe who work with volcanoes, ranging from observatory
volcanologists, disaster practitioners and government officials to
NGO-based and government practitioners to address three key aspects
of volcanic crises. First, the book explores the unique nature of
volcanic hazards, which makes them a particularly challenging
threat to forecast and manage, due in part to their varying spatial
and temporal characteristics. Second, it presents lessons learned
on how to best manage volcanic events based on a number of crises
that have shaped our understanding of volcanic hazards and crises
management. Third, it discusses the diverse and wide-ranging
aspects of communication involved in crises, which merge old
practices and new technologies to accommodate an increasingly
challenging and globalised world. The information and insights
presented here are essential to tapping established knowledge,
moving towards more robust volcanic crises management, and
understanding how the volcanic world is perceived from a range of
standpoints and contexts around the globe.
