    en.wikipedia.org/.../Prediction_of_volcanic_activity

    Prediction of volcanic activity, and volcanic eruption forecasting, is an interdisciplinary monitoring and research effort to predict the time and severity of a volcano's eruption. Of particular importance is the prediction of hazardous eruptions that could lead to catastrophic loss of life, property, and disruption of human activities.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiltmeter

    The most dramatic application of tiltmeters is in the area of volcanic eruption prediction. [6] As shown in this figure from the USGS, the main volcano in Hawaii has a pattern of filling the main chamber with magma, and then discharging to a side vent. The graph shows this pattern of swelling of the main chamber (recorded by the tiltmeter ...

    (“Long-period events” are the records of seismic waves that are produced by volcanic fluids surging through fissures in a volcano—a phenomenon similar to water hammer.) Chouet then used the occurrence of long-period events to predict the 1989 and 1990 eruptions of Mount Redoubt in Alaska and the 1993 eruption of Galeras in Colombia.
