Active volcanoes are nowadays monitored by different ground and space-based instruments providing a wealth of seismic, geodetic, and chemical data for academic volcanologists and monitoring agencies. We have better insights into volcanic systems thanks to steady improvements in research tools and data processing techniques. The integration of these data into physics-based models allows us for example to constrain magma migration at depth and to derive the pressure evolution inside volcanic conduits and reservoirs, which ultimately help monitor evolving volcanic hazard. Yet, it remains challenging to answer the most crucial questions when the threat of an eruption looms over us: When will it occur? What will be its style? Will it switch during its course? How long will the eruption last? And most importantly: will we have enough time to alert and evacuate population? Addressing these questions is crucial to reduce the social and economic impact of volcanic eruptions, both at the local and global scales. For example, the 2014 eruption at Ontake (Japan) had only limited spatial impact but killed dozens of hikers; in contrast, the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption (Iceland) did not cause any human loss but paralyzed the European air space for weeks. Several limitations arise when approaching these questions. For example, short-term eruption forecasts and models that relate changes in monitoring parameters to the probability, timing, and nature of future activity are particularly uncertain. More reliable and useful quantitative forecasting requires the development of optimized and integrated monitoring networks, standardized approaches and nomenclature, and a new range of statistical methods and models that better capture the complexity of volcanic processes and system dynamics.Physical geography and topographybicsscScience: general issuesbicsscearth scienceforecastingmonitoringvolcanovolcanologyPhysical geography and topographyScience: general issuesCaudron Corentinedt1325566Chardot LaurianeedtGirona TársiloedtAoki YosukeedtFournier NicoedtCaudron CorentinothChardot LaurianeothGirona TársiloothAoki YosukeothFournier NicoothBOOK9910557755303321Towards Improved Forecasting of Volcanic Eruptions3036971UNINA05321nam 22005293 450 991016319220332120250731080249.01-78289-581-7(CKB)3810000000097892(BIP)058039567(VLeBooks)9781782895817(Perlego)3020694(MiAaPQ)EBC32229604(Au-PeEL)EBL32229604(Exl-AI)993810000000097892(Exl-AI)32229604(OCoLC)1530376679(EXLCZ)99381000000009789220250731d2014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Bear Went over the Mountain1st ed.TBD :Pickle Partners Publishing,2014.©2014.1 online resource (164 p.)

Set against the backdrop of earlier successful Soviet military interventions in East Germany (1953), Hungary (1956), and Czechoslovakia (1968), and occasional Soviet military pressure on Poland, the stark military power of the Soviet state seemed to be an irresistible tool of indefatigable Soviet political power...More than a few strategic pundits and military planners envisioned a bold Soviet strategic thrust from southern Afghanistan to the shores of the Persian Gulf, to challenge Western strategic interests and disrupt Western access to critical Middle Eastern oil.Despite these fears and dire warnings, the Soviet Afghan military effort soon languished as the British experience began to repeat itself. Although appearing to have entered Afghanistan in seemingly surgical fashion and with overwhelming force, the Soviet military commitment was, in reality, quite limited, and the immense and stark territory of Afghanistan swallowed the invaders up. Across the largely barren landscape, guerrilla fighters multiplied, and, within months, the hitherto curious word mujahideen took on new meaning...To this day the Western view of the Afghan War has been clouded in mystery and shadows. Soviet writers have presented Westerners with a mixture of political diatribe, military fable, allegory, and analogy, set against the backdrop of few facts. Westerners have recounted the war based on this Soviet material, sketchy mujahideen accounts, the reports of the occasional Western war correspondents in Afghanistan, and pure supposition. This volume, the first factual material to shed real light on the conflict, represents a unique first step in setting the Afghan record straight.Guerrilla warfareGenerated by AITacticsGenerated by AIAfghanistanGenerated by AISoviet UnionGenerated by AIGuerrilla warfareTactics355.42Grau Lester K1434535Glantz David M610066MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163192203321The Bear Went over the Mountain4411840UNINA
