Study on Crystal Growth Helps Foresee Future Volcanic Eruptions

Researchers from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum(RUB) and their associates from Bristol have described how the growth of crystals is connected to volcano seismicity. They studied the crystal growth in the magma chamber and utilized the results that are attained from the observation of seismic signals. The study can help estimate future volcanic eruptions with greater accuracy.
