The main objective of this JPA is the studies of
the measurements that can be obtain during volcanic eruptions, within a risk
management framework. The volcanic environment is one of the most difficult
environments on the surface of our planet. Therefore, measurements near active
eruptive vents are not possible, due to the extremely dangerous operative
conditions, which are the unpredictability of volcanic activity and the severe
environmental conditions. Up to
date only a few observations close to active vents have been reported. They are
related to unusually safe conditions or fearless persons that face great danger
and, sometime, suffer serious personal injuries.
