Can ERT reveal the dynamics of volcanic hydrothermal systems? (ERupT) Ghent University
A large fraction of volcanic eruptions are related to hydrothermal phenomena and do not expel magma. These eruptions can take a heavy human toll through the ejection of pre-existing rocks, volcanic gases, and steam. Several recent catastrophic examples have highlighted our limitations to anticipate sudden hydrothermal explosions. These eruptions are challenging to predict because of the absence of clear precursory signals. They are ...
