About this book
This book provides a unique visual experience, showing
satellite images of volcanic eruptions worldwide and
detailed observations from the North Pacific ‘ring of fire’.
Daily volcano monitoring and analysis from this region have
resulted in one of the most detailed collections of satellite
images in the world. An international team of experts has
provided comprehensive coverage of the state-of-the-art
techniques for real-time volcano monitoring and analysis
using space-borne data, as well as satellite data acquisition
and analysis, ash-dispersion models, wind field data, case
studies, hazard mitigation, transmitting warnings and
discussion of global impacts of eruptions.

Reviews
“This 363-page book is well written, self-contained and provides all up to date information for anyone interested in the volcanic activity over the North Pacific, and a must have for everyone interested in volcanology and remote sensing. It is full of colored, high-quality images that help the reader to conceive the presented material which also makes the book more appealing.” (Alexandra Karamitrou, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 174, 2017)
