Volcán de Colima is an important volcano: it has frequent large Plinian or sub-Plinian eruptions; its activity frequently switches between various regimes,which provides the opportunity to study these transitions from their cause totheir impact; and it is a volcano which poses a significant threat to a largepopulation.This book represents a comprehensive coverage of the current state of knowledge of Volcán de Colima: its history, its eruptive mechanism, the generation and interpretation of monitoring data, and the risk presented to the local population. The volume pulls together the results of the most important studies of recent years from many areas of volcanology: the geology of its eruptive products; geophysical and geochemical studies of the signals measured that relate to the generation and movement of magma; experimental analysis of its internal processes and the social complexities relating to the risk imposed by future eruptions. INDICE: Introduction.- History of eruptions.- Current activity.- Monitoring of Volcán de Colima.- Seismic studies.- Geophysical monitoring.- Geochemicalstudies.- Modelling the eruptive process.- Risk evaluation.- Civil Protectionand the local society.
