In the shadow of the volcano

Article Abstract:

Thousands of people living near volcanoes have died needlessly in volcanic eruptions because of earth scientists' lack of communication skills and the discipline's failure to focus on forecasting techniques. Volcanologists are mainly taught to consider the geological aspects of volcano deposits, while volcanology has been adversely affected by the conflicting interests and opinions of different research groups. There may also be conflicting military, political and commercial interests to be resolved. People in the vicinity of a volcanic eruption are unsure of whose advice to follow.
