This book aims to give an overview on the present state of volcanic lake research, covering topics such as volcano monitoring, the chemistry, dynamics and degassing of acidic crater lakes, mass-energy-chemical-isotopic balance approaches, limnology and degassing of Nyos-type lakes, the impact on the human and natural environment, the eruption products and impact of crater lake breaching eruptions, numerical modeling of gas clouds and lake eruptions, thermo-hydro-mechanical and deformation modeling, CO2 fluxes from lakes, volcanic lakes observed from space, biological activity, continuous monitoring techniques, and some aspects more. We hope to offer an updated manual on volcanic lake research, providing classic research methods, and point towards a more high-tech approach of future volcanic lake research and continuous monitoring.

This is a story of love and family that involved a three month visit to Cameroon, a country that most Americans have a hard time finding on a map. Relatively few visitors find their way here since most tours focus on the plains of East Africa. Cameroon is located on the Gulf of Biafra just under the great bulge of West Africa. It is roughly knife shaped and plunges deeply into the heart of central Africa. It contains within its border almost every animal and habitat that can be found anywhere on the continent.

This book is based on empirical research about the Lake Nyos Disaster, and examines contemporary challenges within natural hazards/disaster risk, vulnerability, resettlement, risk perception, disaster management and relocation decisions in Cameroon. It brings the ramifications of the LND to the fore, analysing not only the continuing social vulnerabilities/risks in the affected populations, but also ongoing efforts to rehabilitate the affected area. This treatise is further enriched by theoretical concepts/ models in disasters along with an analysis that integrates the results/findings with the theories that underpin them. Based on the research results, the author has produced a new disaster model that informs Relocation Decisions.
