********************************************************** From: Jonathan Gaugler Academic Publicist Cambridge University Press jgaugler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ********************************************************** Dear Colleagues, Cambridge University Press is pleased to announce the publication of Volcanism on Io: A Comparison with Earth (Cambridge Planetary Science Series) By Ashley Davies The most powerful volcanoes in the Solar System are found not on Earth but on Io, a tiny moon of Jupiter. Earth and Io are the only bodies in the Solar System with active, high-temperature volcanoes, but volcanoes on Io are larger and hotter – as well as more violent. This book, the first dedicated to volcanism on Io, contains the latest results from the Galileo mission. In addition to investigating the different styles and scales of volcanic activity on Io, it compares those volcanoes to their contemporaries on Earth. The book also provides background on how volcanoes form and how they erupt, and explains quantitatively how remote-sensing data from spacecraft and telescopes are analyzed to reveal underlying volcanic processes. This richly illustrated book is a fascinating reference for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in planetary sciences, volcanology, remote sensing, and geology. Ashley Davies is a volcanologist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory – California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. He was a member of the Galileo Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer Team, is Principal Investigator on several studies investigating volcanic activity on Io and Earth, and was a recipient of the 2005 NASA Software of the Year Award for his work on Spacecraft Autonomy.
