Many scientists who have worked on active lava flows or attempted to model lava flows have
recognized the importance of rheology in understanding flow dynamics. Numerous attempts …

Many active European volcanoes and volcano observatories are island-based and located
far from their administrative “mainland”. Consequently, Governments have developed …

Improving lava flow hazard assessment is one of the most important and challenging fields
of volcanology and has an immediate and practical impact on society. Here, we present a …

Spaceborne remote sensing techniques and numerical simulations have been combined in
a web-GIS framework (LAV@ HAZARD) to evaluate lava flow hazard in real time. By using …

Satellite remote sensing is becoming an increasingly essential component of volcano
monitoring, especially at little-known and remote volcanoes where in-situ measurements are …

Volcanic thermal anomalies are monitored with an increased application of optical satellite
sensors to improve the ability to identify renewed volcanic activity. Hotspot detection …

Satellite remote sensing techniques and lava flow forecasting models have been combined
to enable a rapid response during effusive crises at poorly monitored volcanoes. Here we …

The 2011 submarine eruption that took place in the proximity of El Hierro Island (Canary
Islands, Spain) has raised the need to identify the most likely future emission zones even on …

Lava flows represent the greatest threat by far to exposed population and infrastructure on
Mt. Etna, Italy. The increasing exposure of a larger population, which has almost tripled in …

Long-term hazard assessment, one of the bastions of risk-mitigation programs, is required
for land-use planning and for developing emergency plans. To ensure quality and …
