Explosive volcanic eruptions constitute a major class of natural hazard with potentially profound economic and societal consequences. Although such eruptions cannot be prevented and only rarely may be anticipated with any degree of accuracy, better understanding of how explosive volcanoes work will lead to improved volcano monitoring and disaster mitigation. A major goal of modern volcanology is linking of surface-monitored signals from active volcanoes, such as seismicity, ground deformation and gas chemistry, to the subterranean processes that generate them. Because sub-volcanic systems cannot be accessed directly, most of what we know about these systems comes from studies of erupted products....
