climate change. However, measuring disaster resilience remains a challenge as it requires …

There is a contradictive situation between the theory that believes that high volcanic hazard
areas should be for limited production zones and those areas that are intensively utilised for …

Seismic velocity changes at volcanoes carry information about stresses present within
hydrothermal and magmatic systems. In this thesis, temporal velocity changes are measured …
