  1. Volcano observatory

    A volcano observatory is an institution that conducts research and monitoring of a volcano . Each observatory provides continuous and periodic monitoring of the Seismology seismicity , other geophysical changes, ground movements, volcanic gas chemistry, and hydrology hydrologic conditions and activity between and during Volcanic eruption eruption s. They also provide a detailed record of eruptions in progress. Monitor See Prediction of volcanic activity These observations serve to characterize eruptive behavior, identify the nature of precursory activity leading to eruption, define the processes by which different types of deposits are emplaced, and specify the hazards that could be unleashed by each kind of eruption. From direct observation of precursory signs, it is possible to anticipate eruptions. In times of volcanic unrest, observatories issue warnings and recommendations they take on an advisory role for decision making governmental civil defense agencies the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the U.S. and ideally continue producing observational data. Research Underlying all observatory operations is an ongoing program of fundamental research in volcanic processes, supplemented by collaborative studies with universities, government agencies in the U.S. for instance with other ... systems. Almost all observatories are members of the World Organization of Volcano Observatories WOVO .
