This book provides a comprehensive description of the
volcanological, petrological and geochemical features of the Poas
Volcano (Costa Rica), one of the most active volcanic systems in
Central America and part of the Central America Volcanic Arc
(CAVA). Poas Volcano hosts a unique sulfur lake, which actually is
one of the world's most acidic lakes, and has experienced molten
sulfur eruptions. Past investigations, current monitoring
activities and planned programs of investigation into lessening of
the volcanic hazard are reported here. Specific sections of the
monograph will be devoted to the impact of this volcano on the
social, agricultural and industrial activities in the area. Legends
and popular traditions related to this volcano will be described in
the last chapter to round up a complete scientific review on this
unique volcanic system.
