As a well balanced and fully illustrated introductory text, this book provides a comprehensive
overview of the physical, technological and social components of natural disaster. The main …

Onboard NASA Terra spacecraft is one of the most sophisticated earth observing
instruments ever flown, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection …

For volcanoes characterised by activity from open degassing conduits and fumarole fields,
thermal data from remote sensing instruments can provide an integrated data set capable of …

We have found that image data acquired with NASA's airborne Thermal Infrared
Multispectral Scanner (TIMS) can be used to make estimates of the SO2 content of volcanic …

The joint hypocenter determination (JHD) technique is a relatively simple but efficient way to
account for lateral velocity variations not included in the one-dimensional velocity models …

This paper considers the rôle of information technology in forecasting, monitoring and
managing disasters in real-time (ie, by analysis of data as soon as they are collected). First …

Multispectral satellite data recorded in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) region have
been used to estimate temperatures of hot volcanic features such as fumaroles and lava …

A study of volcanic activity and its effects on the atmosphere is one of 28 interdisciplinary
investigations, for the Earth Observing System (EOS), due to be launched in 1997 and 1999 …

The Woodlark triple junction region, a topographically and structurally complex triangular
area of Quaternary age, lies east of Simbo Ridge and southwest of the New Georgia island …

Multispectral thermal infrared radiance measurements of the Kupaianaha flow field were
acquired with the NASA airborne Thermal Infrared Multispectral Scanner (TIMS) on the …
