The impact of natural disasters has become an important and ever-growing preoccupation for modern societies. Volcanic eruptions are particularly feared due to their devastating local, regional or global effects. Relevant scientific expertise that aims to evaluate the hazards of volcanic activity and monitor and predict eruptions has progressively developed since the start of the 20th century. The further development of fundamental knowledge and technological advances over this period have allowed scientific capabilities in this field to evolve. Hazards and Monitoring of Volcanic Activity groups a number of available techniques and approaches to render them easily accessible to teachers, researchers and students. This volume reviews the different monitoring methods. It first considers fluids and solid products, approaches that provide valuable information on pre-eruptive processes and eruption dynamics. It also focuses on the description of geophysical monitoring methods under development.

Volcanoes are fascinating because of the beautiful landscapes they form and their superb eruptions. Many books have documented the most catastrophic eruptions, the different eruptive regimes and the physical mechanisms involved. Others have popularized tales of adventurers getting close to volcanic explosions and flows at the risk of their lives. In comparison, the discreet and dedicated work of volcanologists monitoring volcanoes has remained little known. The methods and techniques they use have improved greatly in recent decades and now allow them to predict eruptions with very few limitations. These advances are to be presented and explained in the three volumes of this book.
Volcanoes are built on top of a vast network of underground plumbing, and it is within this network that eruptions occur. Near the surface, the permeable rocks are gorged with water that circulates, heats up at depth and vaporizes under widely varying conditions. The result is a myriad of manifestations, including fumarole fields with changing flows, small earthquakes and ground deformation. This high background noise makes monitoring difficult. An eruption is preceded by the setting in motion of magma from one or more reservoirs located several kilometers underground. This onset is often very discrete and the associated signals are not easily distinguished from the background noise. Once the magma is near the surface, the signs are numerous and leave no room for doubt, but things can move very quickly and it is often too late to evacuate the area. Simply recognizing that an eruption is imminent is not enough: one must also assess its intensity and regime. Sometimes an eruption can even occur without magma and take the form of phreatic explosions, where the water contained in the surface rocks of the volcano vaporizes explosively. The volcanologist’s work does not stop when the eruption begins; they must follow it over time and be able to distinguish between a temporary stop and its true end.
Faced with these multiple challenges, volcanologists have adopted methods that can be divided into two broad categories. The first is the historical study that reconstructs the past eruptions of a volcano and the time intervals between them. Knowing that an eruption covers the deposits of those that preceded it and destroys most of them, establishing a reliable chronology and estimating the volumes ejected rely on particular sampling strategies and frequent round trips between the field and the laboratory. New dating methods had to be developed to determine the ages of deposits older than a few tens of thousands of years. The second category covers all the physical and chemical methods used to determine the deep structure of a volcano and to locate the perturbations that it hosts. Rocks are difficult to penetrate and do not allow us to observe the reservoirs and conduits that feed eruptions. The information we obtain is indirect and often ambiguous. For example, small earthquakes are recorded, but they can be caused by the opening of cracks in a hydrothermal system or by magma that moves or by isolated landslides in places that are not easily accessible. An area of abnormal electrical conductivity can be detected, but it may be weathered rock or rock with water-filled fractures. Volcanologists have improved the uncertainty by combining several methods and have added to their toolbox over the years.
Remarkable progress has been made in the last four decades. Previously, the equipment available was limited to a few heavy and unwieldy devices designed for larger scale studies. Measurements have become much more precise, the number of sensors has increased enormously and the mathematical techniques of analysis have been refined. Well-instrumented observatories have been installed on many active volcanoes and in particular on the three volcanoes of the French national territory in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Reunion Island. Nowadays, a “typical” observatory maintains more than a hundred sensors of all kinds. The last two decades have seen the advent of very efficient satellite tools. However, it should not be inferred that volcanology has become the business of pure measurement experts or laboratory researchers. Knowledge of the special features of each volcano is needed to advance. The active volcano of Santorini in the Cyclades, which grows in the middle of a large caldera, is not monitored in the same way as Piton de la Fournaise on Reunion Island, which rises nearly 7 km above the sea floor and grows on the flanks of the ancient Piton des Neiges. It would be absurd to sample the deposits and install sensors randomly or only in easily accessible locations. Every volcanologist, whether geologist, geophysicist or geochemist, has studied their volcanoes for several years. This patient work has rarely been described. In this book, specialists from all the major disciplines of volcanology share their work and their discoveries. They explain how they decipher and interpret their measurements. One is likely to be surprised by the weakness of the signals detected, which can only be measured with sophisticated instruments, in comparison with the enormity of the eruptive phenomena. But it is thanks to these signals that we are able to travel to the very heart of volcanoes.

The impact of natural disasters has become a major concern of our modern societies. Volcanic eruptions, although statistically less deadly and causing less damage than earthquakes or certain atmospheric phenomena, can have devastating local or global effects.
The methods used to determine hazards related to volcanic activity and to monitor the latter are part of many Earth science curricula, both at master and thesis levels.
There are many publications in these areas, but the information is fragmented, requiring teachers to consult a large number of documents to develop their teaching. The aim of this book is to provide them with a single resource, written by specialists, on the methods of monitoring and determining hazards.
The subject is vast, which has led us to present it in three volumes. The first is devoted to geological and historical approaches. The next two are devoted to monitoring methods. The aim of each chapter is not to be encyclopedic. Rather, the intention is to provide the reader with the basic fundamentals of each of the topics covered. On the other hand, each author has taken care to provide bibliographic references that will allow readers to find the detailed information they may need.
This book deals with a scientific field that is constantly evolving. The progress in scientific concepts, approaches, observations and techniques has been spectacular during the last decades. There is no reason why this dynamic should slow down in the future. A logical consequence is that updates should be made periodically to avoid obsolescence of such a book. We therefore hope that it will be useful in the present period and that future editions will enable it to retain its value over time.
