This paper discusses the role of volcano observatories as local sites of knowledge production through the monitoring of volcanoes, and links this with the global production of knowledge in volcanology. The paper initially discusses the institutional geography of volcanological science, and relates this broadly to the geography of science and science studies. It then focuses on interview data to draw some insights into the experiences of observatory and university scientists. Observatories have to provide scientific advice to local authorities and also engage with the international scientific community. They may act as gatekeepers to the field, and as rich sources of baseline data for research projects. As such, they have a pivotal role in the production of knowledge beyond the field sites—and are also involved in the protection of populations. The paper argues that the tension between academic research and volcano monitoring that occurs at many observatories is an important part of the process of knowledge production in volcanology, and also reveals the complex geographies of social responsibility and collaboration that exist around active volcanoes as scientific networks and territorial governance structures interact.

International audience ; In 1970, Henri Dessens, director of the Clermont-Fd Observatory, wanted to use radar to study the physics of the atmosphere. The idea became a reality with Serge Godard, who took over from Dessens at the head of the Observatory. He succeeded in recovering a military radar that was diverted from its original function to become a study and research instrument called ANATOL (ANAlyse et Trajectoire d'Orages Locaux). ANATOL's long career came to an end in 1995 after more than 45 years of good and loyal service in atmospheric research. However, the idea of using radars continued to grow and in 1993, under the direction of Daniel Ramon, an ST (Stratosphere-Troposphere) radar was installed with Météo-France. Then, in the mid-1990s, Jacques Kornprobst, director, launched the Observatory on the design and technical production of a prototype "volcanological" Doppler radar, VOLDORAD-1. Responding to volcanological needs, it was tested in a pioneering way at Etna in 1998. This success led to the construction of two other unique volcanological radars (VOLDORAD-2 and 2B) and a third (VOLDORAD-3). Since 2002, these radars have been combined into a dedicated observation service within the OPGC and are used for monitoring volcanic eruptions but also for atmospheric studies. ; En 1970, Henri Dessens, directeur de l'Observatoire de Clermont-Ferrand, souhaite utiliser des radars pour l'étude de la physique de l'atmosphère.

Répondant à des besoins en volcanologie, il fut testé de façon pionnière sur le site de l'Etna en 1998. Ce succès conduisit dans la foulée à la construction de deux autres radars uniques en volcanologie (VOLDORAD-2 et 2B) puis d'un troisième (VOLDORAD-3). Réunis en un service d'observation dédié au sein de l'OPGC depuis 2002, ces radars sont utilisés pour la surveillance des éruptions volcaniques mais également pour des études atmosphériques.

This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of volcanic crisis research, the goal being to establish ways of successfully applying volcanology in practice and to identify areas that need to be addressed for future progress. It shows how volcano crises are managed in practice, and helps to establish best practices. Consequently the book brings together authors from all over the globe who work with volcanoes, ranging from observatory volcanologists, disaster practitioners and government officials to NGO-based and government practitioners to address three key aspects of volcanic crises. First, the book explores the unique nature of volcanic hazards, which makes them a particularly challenging threat to forecast and manage, due in part to their varying spatial and temporal characteristics. Second, it presents lessons learned on how to best manage volcanic events based on a number of crises that have shaped our understanding of volcanic hazards and crises management. Third, it discusses the diverse and wide-ranging aspects of communication involved in crises, which merge old practices and new technologies to accommodate an increasingly challenging and globalised world. The information and insights presented here are essential to tapping established knowledge, moving towards more robust volcanic crises management, and understanding how the volcanic world is perceived from a range of standpoints and contexts around the globe. ; A unique collection harnessing international expertise and experience to review volcanic crises around the world Brings together for the first time a wealth of undocumented knowledge to provide a platform for understanding how volcano crises are managed in practice, and to establish effective best practices Includes a glossary, bibliography, and annotated further reading lists, along with a linked author website

Kilauea Volcano's 2018 lower East Rift Zone (LERZ) eruption produced exceptionally high lava effusion rates and record-setting SO2 emissions. The eruption involved a diverse range of magmas, including primitive basalts sourced from Kilauea's summit reservoirs. We analyzed LERZ matrix glasses, melt inclusions, and host minerals to identify melt volatile contents and magma storage depths. The LERZ glasses and melt inclusions span nearly the entire compositional range previously recognized at Kilauea. Melt inclusions in Fo(86-89) olivine from the main eruptive vent (fissure 8) underwent 70-170 degrees C cooling during transport in LERZ carrier melts, causing extensive post-entrapment crystallization and sulfide precipitation. Many of these melt inclusions have low sulfur (400-900 ppm) even after correction for sulfide formation. CO2 and H2O vapor saturation pressures indicate shallow melt inclusion trapping depths (1-5 km), consistent with formation within Kilauea's Halema'uma'u and South Caldera reservoirs. Many of these inclusions also have degassed delta S-34 values (1.5 to -0.5%). Collectively, these results indicate that some primitive melts experienced near-surface degassing before being trapped into melt inclusions. We propose that decades-to-centuries of repeated lava lake activity and lava drain-back during eruptions (e.g., 1959 Kilauea Iki) recycled substantial volumes of degassed magma into Kilauea's shallow reservoir system. Degassing and magma recycling from the 2008-2018 Halema'uma'u lava lake likely reduced the volatile contents of LERZ fissure 8 magmas, resulting in lower fountain heights compared to many prior Kilauea eruptions. The eruption's extreme SO2 emissions were due to high lava effusion rates rather than particularly volatile-rich melts. ; U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Volcano Science Center; Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO); University of Hawaii-Hilo; HVO volunteer program; Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon; Mineralogical Society of America; Geological Society of America; Mazamas student research grant program; National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship ProgramNational Science Foundation (NSF); NSF Graduate Research Internship Program (GRIP) ; Published version ; The authors would like to thank Matthew Loewen, Nicole Metrich, and Matt Patrick for constructive input that significantly improved this manuscript.

This open access book summarizes the findings of the VUELCO project, a multi-disciplinary and cross-boundary research funded by the European Commission's 7th framework program. It comprises four broad topics: 1. The global significance of volcanic unrest 2. Geophysical and geochemical fingerprints of unrest and precursory activity 3. Magma dynamics leading to unrest phenomena 4. Bridging the gap between science and decision-making Volcanic unrest is a complex multi-hazard phenomenon. The fact that unrest may, or may not lead to an imminent eruption contributes significant uncertainty to short-term volcanic hazard and risk assessment. Although it is reasonable to assume that all eruptions are associated with precursory activity of some sort, the understanding of the causative links between subsurface processes, resulting unrest signals and imminent eruption is incomplete. When a volcano evolves from dormancy into a phase of unrest, important scientific, political and social questions need to be addressed. This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers of volcanic phenomena, professionals in volcanic hazard and risk assessment, observatory personnel, as well as emergency managers who wish to learn about the complex nature of volcanic unrest and how to utilize new findings to deal with unrest phenomena at scientific and emergency managing levels.
