You have found the way to Research on Volcanoes:
- Observatories@ (11)
CO2 from Mammoth Mt., California - Observations and interpretations of the carbon dioxide gas emissions at Mammoth Mountain Volcano, Long Valley, California.
The Electronic Volcano - A pioneer site started by Professor Dick Stoiber at Dartmouth College providing information on active volcanoes. Not well updated since 1997, but older information is excellent.
ERUPT Research project - European Research on understanding processes and timescales in magma systems.
Granular Volcano Group - Site for understanding granular flows (pyroclastic flows), fluid dynamic, supercomputer modeling, grain features and behaviors in Volcanology, Physics and Geophysics.
Igneous Geochemistry - Compositions of volcanic and other igneous rocks in a world wide data base.
Killer lake Nyos in Africa - Carbon dioxide gas outbursts from lakes Nyos and Monoun in Cameroon, West Africa, killed hundreds of people. A controlled degassing operation is scheduled to begin in January, 2001, for reducing the risk of future carbon dioxide suffocation from these killer lakes.
Lake Nyos, Cameroon, West Africa - Eruption of carbon dioxide from Lake Nyos killed hundreds. A controlled degassing experiment is planned to reduce this hazard.
Merapi volcano, Java - Bibliography, monitoring techniques and photos about one of the most dangerous volcano in the world.
