Since the disaster, research has dramatically improved scientists' ability to predict volcanic eruptions.

This equipment allows them to predict volcanic eruptions effectively and rapidly, and to evacuate nearby homes.

Seismic B-types had been used successfully to predict eruptions on other volcanoes.

"Almost all methods of predicting eruptions are experimental," he said.

"Can microgravity be used for predicting volcanic eruptions?"

Various methods including the following sections are used to help predict eruptions.

Most cases of ground deformation are usually detectable only by sophisticated equipment used by scientists, but they can still predict future eruptions this way.

British geologists have developed a method of predicting future eruptions of Mt. Etna.

Currently, it is being developed for use in the petroleum industry and for predicting earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

I've been back on that volcano half a dozen times and learned a tremendous amount about predicting eruptions.
