The impact of natural disasters has become an important and
ever-growing preoccupation for modern societies. Volcanic eruptions
are particularly feared due to their devastating local, regional or
global effects. Relevant scientific expertise that aims to evaluate
the hazards of volcanic activity and monitor and predict eruptions
has progressively developed since the start of the 20th century.
The further development of fundamental knowledge and technological
advances over this period have allowed scientific capabilities in
this field to evolve. Hazards and Monitoring of Volcanic Activity
groups a number of available techniques and approaches to render
them easily accessible to teachers, researchers and students. This
volume is dedicated to geological and historical approaches. The
assessment of hazards and monitoring strategies is based primarily
on knowledge of a volcano's past behavior or that of similar
volcanoes. The book presents the different types of volcanic
hazards and various approaches to their mapping before providing a
history of monitoring techniques.
