"When you hear news reports about volcanoes spewing lava and ash, you may worry
about the people nearby. In fact, almost one in ten people around the world
live within 100 kilometres of an active volcano. For those living close to
volcanoes, farming on their fertile soils, or visiting their spectacular
landscapes, it is crucial to understand the drivers of eruption.
Why is the volcano erupting? How will the eruption evolve? When will it finish?
Our new research published today in
Science Advances applies laser technology
to read into the chemical composition of erupted magma over time.
Because the chemistry of magmas affects their fluidity, explosivity and hazard
potential, our work could help future monitoring and forecasting of the
evolution of volcanic eruptions."
