Recent volcanic eruptions remind us of the importance of multidisciplinary monitoring for a better forecasting of time, size, and duration of an eruption, as well as better understanding of the mechanics of magma transport resulting in an eruption or a failed eruption. This session discusses what we learn from monitoring of active volcanoes by multidisciplinary methods including, but not limited to, seismic, geodetic, acoustic, gas, and electromagnetic measurements and a combination of these, to gain more insights into the mechanics of magma transport at depth, that of effusive and explosive eruptions, and the predictability of them. We also intend to discuss the importance of stimulating international and intergovernmental collaboration through establishing open data access to relevant datasets.
