Mount St. Helens Retrospective: Lessons Learned Since 1980 and Remaining Challenges
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 Since awakening from a 123-year repose in 1980, Mount St. Helens has provided an opportunity to study changes in crustal magma storage at an active arc volcano—a process of fundamental importance to eruption forecasting and hazards mitigation.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 We describe a multidisciplinary approach to forecast, rapidly detect, and characterize explosive events during the 2016–2017 eruption of Bogoslof volcano, a back-arc shallow submarine volcano in Alaska’s Aleutian arc.

Eruption forecast for Krafla Caldera
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1982 Since December 1975, Krafla, a volcano in northern Iceland, has been the site of repeated earthquakes, fissuring, and occasional eruptions (see cover figure). Intense monitoring of activity at Krafla has led to the recognition of a repetitive pattern of months‐long inflation in the caldera area, followed by sudden deflation.

Towards scientific forecasting of magmatic eruptions
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2023 Forecasting eruptions is a fundamental goal of volcanology. However,difficulties in identifying eruptive precursors, fragmented approachesand lack of resources make eruption forecasting difficult to achieve.In this Review, we explore the first-order scientific approaches thatare essential to progress towards forecasting the time and location ofmagmatic

Accurate hindcasting of explosive eruptions at Whakaari, New Zealand
VolcanicaPhreatic eruptions are small, sudden events, commonly with few precursory signals. They are driven by interactions between magmatic and hydrothermal processes at shallow levels beneath the surface.

Thermal Remote Sensing for Global Volcano Monitoring: Experiences From the MIROVA System
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Volcanic activity is always accompanied by the transfer of heat from the Earth’s crust to the atmosphere. This heat can be measured from space and its measurement is a very useful tool for detecting volcanic activity on a global scale.

Eruptive Styles Recognition Using High Temporal Resolution Geostationary Infrared Satellite Data
Remote Sensing, 2019 The high temporal resolution of the Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) instrument aboard Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) provides the opportunity to investigate eruptive processes and discriminate different styles of volcanic ...

Hindcasting Magma Reservoir Stability Preceding the 2008 Eruption of Okmok, Alaska
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Volcanic eruptions pose a significant and sometimes unpredictable hazard, especially at systems that display little to no precursory signals. For example, the 2008 eruption of Okmok volcano in Alaska notably lacked observable short‐term precursors ...

How Scientists Forecast Volcanic Eruptions
Frontiers for Young Minds, 2022 Volcanic eruptions are impressive demonstrations of the activity of our planet. While some eruptions may be safely observed from distance, many eruptions, especially if explosive, may be hazardous to the populations and the environment around the volcano, including the animals, plants, and manmade structures.

Mitigation of human cognitive bias in volcanic eruption forecasting
Journal of Applied VolcanologyModern operational eruption forecasting methods rely heavily on human judgment in the face of uncertainty and are thus susceptible to myriad cognitive biases and errors by the scientist-forecasters.
