Abstract
There are many good reasons to study and observe gaseous emissions from volcanoes. Quantitative measurements provide insights into volcanic processes occurring deep within a volcano, at more shallow levels where gases exsolve from magma and escape via fissures and cracks, into eruption processes at the surface and within the atmosphere. Emission rate monitoring of reawakening volcanoes helps constrain forecasts of eruption timing and magnitude.
