Remote Sensing of Active Volcanism (Geophysical Monograph Series) - Hardcover
Book 101 of 265: Geophysical Monograph
Synopsis
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 116.
Remote sensing is an essential tool for many Earth and planetary scientists. When studying the atmosphere, the land, the ocean floor, or for that matter the surfaces of other planets, remote sensing has deepened and expanded our understanding in immediate and dramatic ways. This is especially true for volcanologists concerned with active volcanic processes. Technological advances in collecting data from a satellite or an aircraft, however, also require human skills specific to the medium, and nowhere more so than in processing and interpreting data in ways that are different from those skills needed with a field-oriented approach. In this volume on the remote sensing of active volcanoes, we clarify and address those differences. At the same time, we seek to stimulate greater interaction between remote sensing specialists and field volcanologists, aided by the tutorials and background information we have included.

Crisp, and Jonathan H. Fink, this is volume 116 of the Geophysical Monograph Series. It is a collection of papers by several authors on how satellites and other remote sensors are used to observe volcanoes during eruptions. One chapter covers ultraviolet sensing of volcanic emissions. Another uses TOMS and AVHRR data to follow the volcanic clouds that drifted away from the August 1991 eruptions of Cerro Hudson. A further paper looks at how remote sensing data are used to monitor and analyze volcanic activity. One chapter deals with tracking volcanic hot spots in real time with AVHRR and GOES and sets out what a satellite-based monitoring system would need. Another applies Landsat and hyperspectral data to active lava flows. Seller Inventory # SP-250702-shelf-98-002
