Forecasting the time, place, and character of a volcanic eruption is one
of the major goals of volcanology. It is also one of the most difficult
goals to achieve. Until recently, people living in a volcano’s shadow
had little help anticipating an eruption. A major volcanic event might
strike with no warning at all. In the past 300 years, volcanic
eruptions, most of them unexpected, have killed more than 250,000
people. In 2000, experts estimated that 500 million people were living
in areas at risk from catastrophic volcanic eruptions. This book
describes the strides that have made in eruption forecasting in recent
years and explores why accurately predicting volcanic events remains
difficult.
Based on the methodologies in this book, Eruption Pro 10.6, to our
knowledge, it is the only software programme of its type anywhere in the
world. Eruption Pro 10.6 performs analysis on current available volcano
eruption data from both historical and current available eruption data,
near real-time measurement data including, seismic, deformation,
thermal, frequency of eruption analysis, solar & lunar influences,
crater lake temperature (if applicable), COSPEC, & statistical
procedures. The newest version also accounts for, albeit very small,
contributions due to lunar and solar influences.
Dr. Trombley has been an active and registered professional
volcanologist for over 40 years and has traveled all over the world
working and studying volcanoes. In addition, the development of a
methodology has been developed, the first of its kind in the world to
forecast the eruption of volcanoes. He lives and works out of Apache
Junction, Arizona in the United States and is the Director and Principal
Research Volcanologist for the Southwest Volcano Research Centre.
