Sustainable Universe Cap.05_T6 Can we predict the eruption of a volcano?

The scientific and technological advances of recent years represent a great leap forward for monitoring seismicity, ground deformation and gases. Today, volcanologists can predict if a volcano is about to erupt thanks to these advances and new techniques. Forecasts about the evolution and end of an eruption are still complex, since it depends on many parameters that cannot be observed, but without a doubt, the advances made in volcanic monitoring represent an important milestone for interpreting future eruptions.
