Seismic techniques and suggested instrumentation to monitor volcanoes Seismic techniques and suggested instrumentation to monitor volcanoes

Authors
Weston A. Thelen, John J. Lyons, Aaron G. Wech, Seth C. Moran, Matthew M. Haney, Ashton F. Flinders

Special topic—Eruption plumes and clouds Special topic—Eruption plumes and clouds

chapter G, this volume; Orr and others, 2024), (3) weather radar, (4) volcanic lightning detection, and (5) ground-based ash sensors and sampling. Explosive eruptions can be detected by a variety of geophysical monitoring, including infrasound (see chapter C, this volume; Lyons and others, 2024) and seismicity (see chapter B, this volume; Thelen and others, 2024). However, those methods...

Streams, springs, and volcanic lakes for volcano monitoring Streams, springs, and volcanic lakes for volcano monitoring

chapter K, this volume, on boreholes; Hurwitz and Lowenstern, 2024). Although inferred to be common, relatively few volcano-hydrology anomalies are well documented, and many are essentially anecdotal (Newhall and others, 2001), reflecting the fact that high-resolution time series remain rare. Extreme examples include the 2008 eruption of Nevado del Huila, Colombia, where relatively minor

Infrasound for volcano monitoring Infrasound for volcano monitoring

20 hertz [Hz]), but the most energetic band is typically in the infrasound from 0.5 to 20 Hz. Studies of volcanic infrasound and the deployment of infrasound for volcano monitoring have increased rapidly in the past two decades as sensors have improved and as analytical tools have become more widely available. Improved sensors and tools have led to a growing diversity of eruptive...
