7/24/2019 Prediction of Volcanic Eruption

1/6

Prediction of volcanic eruption(also: volcanic eruption forecasting) is an interdisciplinarymonitoring and research effort to predict the time and severity of avolcano's eruption. Ofparticular importance is the prediction of hazardous eruptions that could lead to catastrophic lossof life, property, and disruption of human activities.
