About The Book

<p>Remote sensing data and methods are increasingly being implemented in assessments of volcanic processes and risk. This happens thanks to their capability to provide a spectrum of observation and measurement opportunities to accurately sense the dynamics magnitude frequency and impacts of volcanic activity. This book includes research papers on the use of satellite aerial and ground-based remote sensing to detect thermal features and anomalies investigate lava and pyroclastic flows predict the flow path of lahars measure gas emissions and plumes and estimate ground deformation. The multi-disciplinary character of the approaches employed for volcano monitoring and the combination of a variety of sensor types platforms and methods that come out from the papers testify to the current scientific and technology trends toward multi-data and multi-sensor monitoring solutions. The added value of the papers lies in the demonstration of how remote sensing can improve our knowledge of volcanoes that pose a threat to local communities; back-analysis and critical revision of recent volcanic eruptions and unrest periods; and improvement of modeling and prediction methods. Therefore the selected case studies also demonstrate the societal impact that this scientific discipline can potentially have on volcanic hazard and risk management.</p>
