Tazieff, H; Sabroux, J C

This book brings together a summary of the current state of predictive volcanology, it provides a perspective of the utility of modern techniques for monitoring volcanoes, and discusses many of the practical problems of implementing precautionary measures. It is designed to serve as a reference and guide, not only for volcanologists, but also for non-specialists seeking to understand how volcanic hazards are assessed. Recent achievements in geophysics and geochemistry, when combined with theoretical studies of the physical processes of volcanism, greatly augment our ability to interpret premonitory phenomena and make more realistic appraisals of impending activity.
