Piton de la Fournaise and Karthala are both shield volcanoes in the
southwest Indian Ocean. This publication summarizes the work done
on these very active basaltic volcanoes. Piton de la Fournaise has
a long history of scientific research and monitoring, with many
data collected during recent eruptions. It is certainly one of the
most studied volcanoes in the world. The work presented in this
monograph includes geological, geophysical, geochemical and
petrological aspects, but also studies on physical geography,
natural hazards and the sociological and behavioural approaches.'
The Karthala volcano may be less well known, but it serves as an
interesting comparison to Piton de la Fournaise. Although situated
close to the volcanoes of Hawaii, it differs from them by its more
alkaline magmas and less frequent activity. It was also monitored
for more than 25 years, producing extraordinary eruptions in recent
years.
