Volcano Monitoring Techniques
Sat. 17 November 2012
Leaders: Jeff Johnson & Nick Varley
Cost: $50 for salaried participants & $25 for students including lunch and materials.
Places are filling fast. There are only a few days left to register for the conference and
workshop. Here are some further details:
Innovation in volcano monitoring techniques is rapid. In the search for eruption precursors,
the more traditional areas of seismicity, geodesy and geochemistry are now routinely
complemented by studies of acoustic or thermal emission. We are also beginning to better
understand the significance of many other detectable geophysical signals, including
deformation, gravity, and electromagnetic signals. In recent years there has been a move to
more remote sensing techniques, which allow a wider coverage and a decreased risk for the
volcanologist. The usage and applications of satellite data is also increasing dramatically. Much
more attention is being placed on the integration of diverse monitoring techniques both for
improved monitoring capabilities and understanding of eruption dynamics.
This workshop will summarize the state-of-the-art of the most important areas of volcano
monitoring. The day will be divided into the following themes with specialists presenting the
theory and implementation of the various techniques. We hope to attract graduate students
and observatory staff who require some refreshment regarding what data is available, how it
can be obtained and then integrated into models of volcano behaviour.
