e-Ruption ...
will create a prototype seismic monitoring system for forecasting and
early warning of volcanic eruptions that will provide improved prediction
and decision-support for risk assessment and management in active volcanic
areas. |
|
e-Ruption ...
will investigate the type and nature of volcanic seismicity as a precursor
to an impending eruption and will assess their significance in terms of
eruption potential through theoretical and applied seismo-volcanological
research. |
e-Ruption ...
will be based on advanced analysis and classification of diagnostic seismic
signals that are precursors to volcanic activity, using theoretical models
to assess their propagation through complex media, to formulate a near
real-time automatic classification procedure for determining the likelihood
of occurrence of an eruptive event. |
|
e-Ruption ...
will comprise a computer server with a database management system that
will allow rapid collection, processing, analyses, and distribution of
seismic, thematic, environmental, socio-economic, infrastructure, and
risk information, and display it through the use of advanced visualisation
tools and products. |
e-Ruption ...
will make use of broadband terrestrial and satellite telecommunication
networks to link seismic monitoring stations in active volcanic regions
to volcanic observation centres, to provide near real-time seismic data. |
|
e-Ruption ...
will provide innovative risk information on potential eruptions at volcanically
active sites, using derived diagnostic seismic data in conjunction with
environmental, infrastructure, and socio-economic information. |
e-Ruption ...
will allow the international volcanology community, civil protection agencies,
and the general public to access the system in real time via the Internet
for up-to-date information on the threat and risk associated with a volcanic
event. |
|
e-Ruption ...
will be designed, developed, and tested, using seismic and other data
obtained from volcanic and hydro-geothermal areas in Italy (Mount Vesuvius,
Campi Flegrei, Mount Etna, and Stromboli), Spain (Pico del Teide, Canary
Islands), Portugal (Furnas and Fogo, Azores), Greece (Santorini Island),
and France (Piton de la Fournaise, La Reunion Island). |
