Automated volcano forecast

World’s first automated volcano forecast predicts Mount Etna’s eruptions

"Maurizio Ripepe, a geophysicist at the University of Florence and his colleagues have created the world’s first automated volcano early-warning system, which alerts authorities near Mount Etna in Sicily about one hour before an eruption."

"The team created its early-warning system in early 2010 and analysed its performance during 59 eruptions over the next eight years. The system — an algorithm that analyses infrasound signals from the sensor array — successfully predicted 57 of those events"
