Volcanic Ash: Hazard Observation presents an introduction followed
by four sections, each on a separate topic and each containing
chapters from an internationally renowned pool of authors. The
introduction provides a volcanological context for ash generation
that sets the stage for the development and interpretation of
techniques presented in subsequent sections. The book begins with
an examination of the methods to characterize ash deposits on the
ground, as ash deposits on the ground have generally experienced
some atmospheric transport. This section will also cover basic
information on ash morphology, density, and refractive index, all
parameters required to understand and analyze assumptions made for
both in situ measurements and remote sensing ash inversion
techniques. Sections two, three, and four focus on methods for
observing volcanic ash in the atmosphere using ground-based,
airborne, and spaceborne instruments respectively. Throughout the
book, the editors showcase not only the interdisciplinary nature of
the volcanic ash problem, but also the challenges and rewards of
interdisciplinary endeavors. Additionally, by bringing together a
broad perspective on volcanic ash studies, the book not only ties
together ground-, air-, academic, and applied approaches to the
volcanic ash problem, but also engages with other scientific
communities interested in particulate transport.
