Monitoring and Predicting erruptions
Earthquakes are a frequent sign of an impending eruption
Their frequency and strength can be recorded
Tiltmeters can identify small subtle changes in the landscape
GPS is used to identify changes as little as 1mm
Digital cameras on the crater's edge can photograph any changes
Gases are emitted before an eruption which contains a large amount of sulphur dioxide
