Now AI Tool Could Predict Volcanic Eruption Early Warning Signals
A groundbreaking AI driven tool developed by a University of Canterbury led research team significantly enhance prediction of volcanic eruptions worldwide. The tool based on machine learning models potential to save lives and protect infrastructure by improving early warning systems.
Dr. Alberto Ardid and Associate Professor David Dempsey from UC’s Civil and Natural Resources Engineering department analyzed seismic data from 41 past eruptions across 24 volcanoes, including three in New Zealand. Their findings suggest that eruption warning signals follow repeatable patterns, which can be applied to under-monitored volcanoes.
Dr. Ardid explained “This could be a breakthrough in eruption forecasting, allowing us to transfer knowledge from well-studied volcanoes to improve risk mitigatio...
