LESSONS:

The detailed scientific studies on Montserrat have led to:

A better understanding of links between the geophysical parameters measured and the behaviour of the volcano,

How the volcanic system works- seismic signals, ground deformation, gas flux, dam collapse or volcanix explosions?

Physical dynamics of ascent, crystallization, degassing, and extrusion of andesite magma.
Above aspects are vital to our ability to reliably forecast or to warn, and thus to mitigate the dangerous effects of andesite volcanism.
