Volcanoes have always fascinated scientists and the general public. This book provides state-of-the-art techniques for real-time volcano monitoring and analysis using space-borne data. The book fills a huge gap in the science of volcano remote sensing.
This book is a visual learning experience as recorded on satellite images of volcanic eruptions and a manual describing how it is used for operational satellite monitoring. The atlas shows examples of the largest eruptions worldwide. The book fills a huge gap in the science of volcano remote sensing. A CD-ROM is included containing all the images and an associated website which will be regularly updated, showing results from new and current eruptions.
