Monitoring Network
Predicting when a volcano will next blow is tricky business, but lessons we learned from one of Hawaii’s recent eruptions may help. […]
Geodetic monitoring
To allow comprehensive monitoring of possible deformation of the Nisyros terrain, a deformation monitoring network has been installed, employing high-precision […]
Sea level monitoring
Upon its ascent, magma causes vertical or/and horizontal shifting of superimposed rocks and areas. One of the basic precursors to […]
Thermal monitoring
Temperature is a physical property subject to a characteristic increase if the volcano is re-activated. Therefore, monitoring of temperature variations […]
Monitoring of hot fluid composition
Periodic sampling (twice per year) and analyses of the main elements, trace elements and isotopes, is carried out at the […]
Monitoring of Radon
Radon is a rare natural radioactive gas, produced from the fission of uranium and thorium. The three natural isotopes of […]
Chemical monitoring
If the volcano becomes active, the gaseous and liquid phases contained in the magma will reach the surface earlier, often […]
Seismic monitoring
The international long-term experience in active volcanoes has demonstrated that the seismic method is one of the most effective monitoring […]
Age of volcanic formations
Age of Volcanic Formations The multitude of contradicting values resulting from radiometric dating of the Nisyros lavas, as well as […]
