observatories and researchers are recognizing the potential
usefulness of thermal imaging cameras both before and during
volcanic eruptions. Obvious applications include measurements of
the surface temperatures of active lava domes and lava flows to
determine the location of the most active parts of these
potentially hazardous features. If appropriate precautions are
taken, the new generation of thermal imaging cameras can be used
to extract quantitative as well as qualitative information on
volcanic activity. For example, they can be used to measure the
temperature of lava on eruption and to reveal how the crust
cools during flow emplacement. This is important for the
validation of lava flow models. To ensure that meaningful
temperatures are collected, thermal imaging dat
