VOLCANIC UNREST IN THE 21ST CENTURY
09 Apr 2013 | Contributor(s): Jo Gottsmann, Georgia Phillipson
One of the most pertinent issues in volcanic risk management is the question whether volcanic unrest will culminate in an eruption in the short-term or not. This question is particularly difficult to answer at volcanoes where unrest is preceded by lengthy periods of quiescence and where hard data...

Unrest at VUELCO's target volcanoes
13 Jan 2012 | Contributor(s): Jo Gottsmann
This is a compilation, analysis and part evaluation of reported unrest at the VUELCO target volcanoes. The data and information was kindly provided by Georgia Phillipson as part of the M.Res project at the School of Earth Sciences. We do not claim this to be an exhaustive data set, but to...

Towards a probabilistic scheme: How can we recognize and track non-magmatic unrest and related hazards?
18 Feb 2014 | Contributor(s): dmitri rouwet, Laura Sandri, Warner Marzocchi, Jo Gottsmann
Eruption forecasting is a major goal in volcanology. The intrinsic complexity and non-linearity of volcanic systems has recently led to an intertwining of deterministic to probabilistic eruption forecasting methods. However, many volcanoes often pass states of non-eruptive and non-magmatic unrest...

STRUCTURAL CONTROLS ON MONOGENETIC VOLCANISM: THE GARROTXA VOLCANIC FIELD CASE STUDY
04 Sep 2013 | Contributor(s): Xavier Bolos, Stephanie Barde-Cabusson, Jo Gottsmann, Joan Marti, Dario Pedrazzi, Llorenç Planaguma, Antonio Camacho, Adelina Geyer Traver, Erika Ronchin
The factors controlling the precursory activity in monogenetic volcanic fields are still poorly understood, which makes that eruption forecasts in these systems is not very accurate. The fact that in monogenetic volcanism each eruption has a different vent suggests that volcanic susceptibility...
