Analysis of active volcanoes from the earth observing system

Advances in technology and increases in the geophysical instrumentation of volcanoes now allow the surface effects of subterranean volcanic processes to be measured in unprecedented detail. Parameters such as ground motion and atmospheric disturbance are continuously monitored at some volcanoes, with high‐sensitivity instruments covering wide frequency ranges. The wealth and accuracy of the resulting data have permitted the identification of oscillatory behaviors within magmatic systems, and have further indicated that these behaviors are common. One of the challenges for volcanology is to fully utilize the diverse information recorded at the surface to understand more of the underground source processes, ultimately applying this understanding to improving eruption forecasts.

Updates in Volcanology - Linking Active Volcanism and the Geological Record

Károly Németh

Volcanic geology is a rapidly growing research field within earth sciences. It is a research field that provides the fundamental basic data to be able to reconstruct volcanism that generated eruptive products and the sedimentary processes acted upon to redeposit and rework volcanic pyroclasts. Due to the broad time and spatial scales over which volcanism takes place, it is difficult to determine the correct link between the preserved rocks and the type of volcanism responsible for their formation. Volcanic rocks represent geological processes that occur in a distinct and rapid pattern compared to other geological processes. This book provides insight into the problem of determining the scale of volcanism and linking it to the volcanic rock record. It includes comprehensive reviews and case studies representative of volcanism in diverse geological environments. This book provides a broad overview of the problems, complexity, and usefulness of the active volcanism-based volcanic geology approach to interpreting volcanic rocks in the geological record.
