Introduction to Volcanic Seismology

Following on from the success of the previous two editions (2003 and 2011), Introduction to Volcanic Seismology, Third Edition covers all aspects of volcano seismology, with a specific focus on recent studies and developments. This new edition expands on the historical aspects, including updated information regarding how volcanic seismology was handled in the past (instrumentation, processing techniques, number of observatories worldwide) compared to the present day. Updated case studies can be found throughout the book, providing information from the many best-studied volcanoes in the world - including those in Iceland. Additional features include descriptions of analog experiments, seismic networks-permanent and temporal-and the link between volcanoes and plate tectonics and mantle plumes. Beginning with an introduction to the history of volcanic seismology, followed by a discussion of models developed for the study of the origin of volcanic earthquakes of both a volcano-tectonic and eruption nature, Introduction to Volcanic Seismology covers a variety of topics from the different aspects of volcano-tectonic activity and seismic events associated with the surface manifestations of volcanic activity to descriptions of eruption earthquakes: volcanic tremor, seismic noise of pyroclastic flows, and explosion earthquakes and the mitigation of volcanic hazards. Presents updated global case studies to provide real-world applications, including studies from Iceland Delivers illustrations alongside detailed descriptions of volcanic eruptions Includes essential information needed for students and practitioners of volcanic seismology to understand the essential elements of volcanic eruptionsNew updates include information on how volcanic seismology was handled in the past (instrumentation, processing techniques, number of observatories worldwide) compared to the present day
