In a first, researchers develop unique model that can predict volcanic eruptions

A team of researchers at the University of Illinois have launched a unique volcanic forecasting modelling programme. While this programme runs on the university’s Blue Waters and iForge supercomputers, the model had earlier successfully predicted a eruption in the Sierra Negra volcano in Equador in June 2018.

The research has been published in Science Advances under the title, “Forecasting mechanical failure and the 26 June 2018…
