1 THERMAL REMOTE SENSING OF ACTIVE VOLCANOES A User s Manual Active volcanoes emit heat through lava flows and erupting vents. Remote measurements of heat emission from such active features can provide insights into the physical processes governing volcanic activity. Development of thermal remote sensing, and improved dataprocessing techniques, have enabled operational use of infrared instruments to perform volcano radiometry and to quantify the thermal flux from eruptions and volcanic systems, leading to better detection and measurement of volcanic activity. This book encapsulates over 100 years of research developments, forming a comprehensive manual for measurements of Earth surface temperatures and heat fluxes. With a particular focus on volcanic hot spots, the book explores methodologies and principles used with satellite, radiometer and thermal-camera data. It presents traditional applications using satellite- and ground-based sensors as well as modern applications that have evolved for use with hand-held thermal cameras, and is fully illustrated with case studies, data bases and worked examples. Chapter topics include techniques for thermal mixture modeling and heat flux derivation, and methods for data collection, mapping, and time series generation. Appendices covering specific sensors and their deployment, plus an extensive reference list, provide the reader with a rigorous background. Online supplements present additional specific notes on areas of sensor application and data processing. This book is an invaluable resource for academic researchers and graduate students in the fields of thermal remote sensing, volcanology, geophysics and planetary studies. It is also of interest to anyone involved in the fields of Earth and space science. andrew harris is a professor at Université Blaise Pascal (Clermont Ferrand, France) and holder of the Chaire d Excellence for the Auvergne region. He is a member of the Remote Sensing Society, IAVCEI and AGU, and has worked with a variety of ground- and satellitebased thermal data sets, having deployed experimental equipment at active volcanoes in Africa, Europe, Central America, South America and Hawaii. Dr. Harris has published over 130 publications in international scientific journals dedicated to thermal remote sensing and volcanology. His work has been recognized by several awards, including IAVCEI s Wager medal (2004) and the University of Hawaii Regents Medals for both excellence in research (2003) and teaching (2005).

9 Acknowledgments This book was initially an effort led by the thermal remote sensing group of the Hawaii Institute of Planetology and Geophysics (HIGP) at the University of Hawaii. It resulted from a proposal, made to Cambridge University Press in 2005, by Robert Wright, and also involved Luke Flynn and Peter Mouginis-Mark. Figure drafting was completed by Lucia Gurioli, supported by funding provided by the Hawaii Space Grant Consortium. Andrew Harris wrote this book while a faculty member at HIGP and, from 2009 onwards, at the Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans (Université Blaise Pascal). The author is most grateful to Thomas and Daniel Harris for giving up valuable playing time to allow book completion, as well as for making useful suggestions. I am also extremely grateful for the time, effort and careful edits made by each of the chapter reviewers, these being: Dave Rothery (Chapters 0 and 1), Martin Wooster (Chapters 2 and 3), Clive Oppenheimer, Laszlo Keszthelyi and Steve Baloga (Chapter 4), Tania Ganci (Chapter 5), Mike Ramsey (Chapter 6), Harry Pinkerton (Chapter 7), Mike James (Chapter 8), and Letizia Spampinato and Matthew Patrick (Chapter 9). Finally, I thank Fran Van Wyk de Vries for helping with a thorough final check of the delivered text. This work was supported by the Région Auvergne (Chaire d Excellence) and is ClerVolc Center of Excellence contribution no. 41. ix
