Futurevolc: A European volcanological supersite observatory in Iceland, a monitoring system and network for the future

FUTUREVOLC is a collaborative project funded through the FP7 Environment Supersite Concept call encompassing 26 partners in 10 countries. The main objectives of FUTUREVOLC are to establish an integrated volcanological monitoring procedure through European collaboration, develop new methods to evaluate volcanic crises, increase scientific understanding of magmatic processes and improve delivery of relevant information to civil protection and authorities. FUTUREVOLC is in the first of its 3.5 year duration, therefore this paper presents aims and expectations rather than results.
