New book on Volcanic Ash
*****************************************************************************************************
There is a new book on Volcanic Ash: Hazard Observation
http://store.elsevier.com/product.jsp?isbn=9780081004050&pagename=search
It provides a holistic overview of methods for tracking and measuring volcanic ash in the atmosphere using ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne instruments, as well as the fundamental science required to support methodological application and interpretation.
