Description / Table of Contents:
For effusive volcanoes in resource-poor regions, there is a pressing need for a crisis response-chain bridging
the global scientific community to allow provision of standard products for timely humanitarian response.
As a first step in attaining this need, this Special Publication provides a complete directory of current operational
capabilities for monitoring effusive eruptions. This volume also reviews the state-of-the-art in terms
of satellite-based volcano hot-spot tracking and lava-flow simulation. These capabilities are demonstrated
using case studies taken from well-known effusive events that have occurred worldwide over the last two
decades at volcanoes such as Piton de la Fournaise, Etna, Stromboli and Kilauea. We also provide casetype
response models implemented at the same volcanoes, as well as the results of a community-wide
drill used to test a fully-integrated response focused on an operational hazard-GIS. Finally, the objectives
and recommendations of the ‘Risk Evaluation, Detection and Simulation during Effusive Eruption Disasters’
working group are laid out in a statement of community needs by its members
