Can volcanic eruptions be predicted?

Andy Day

4th February 2016

It is a mission that has been attempted many times; sometimes with fatal results as volcanologists have been caught on volcano summits when they erupt as they attempted to find the key signals that would indicate the volcano was about to blow. But a new analysis in the change of gas emissions seeping from a volcano's central vent is leading to the possibility that notice of activity could be more accurately predicted within days.
