  1. Between cyclic eruptions (VUELCO meeting, Barcelona, 2013)

    Volcanic unrest begins with precursory signals which are the detectable manifestation of dynamic subsurface changes. In 1997, Vulcanian eruptions from Soufrière Hills volcano (SHV), Montserrat, had a mean repose time of 9.5 hours and produced remarkably regular precursory signals. Cyclic...

  2. The onset of dense plug formation during cyclic eruptions at Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat (COV 7, 2012)

    Cyclicity at active volcanoes is commonly observed and interpreted to reflect periods of vesiculation and gas pressurisation beneath more dense degassed plugs. In 1997, Vulcanian eruptions from Soufrière Hills volcano (SHV), Montserrat, had a mean repose time of 9.5 hours. We consider the...
