Find out how scientists are attempting to mitigate the human and environmental costs of volcanism by predicting eruptions in the Environmental Geology: An Earth System Science Approach, by Dorothy Merritts, Andrew de Wet, and Kirsten Menking (Chapter 5, "Lithosphere: Resources, Hazards, and Change").
