The Eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat from 2000 to 2010
The 1995 to present eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano on Montserrat is one of the most important and best-studied eruptions of an explosive andesitic volcano. This volume presents scientific findings from the period between 2000 and 2010; it follows on from Memoir 21, which focused on the early years of activity between 1995 and 1999. In addition to descriptions and analysis of the growth, collapse and explosions associated with lava domes, there are papers on the deformation of the volcano caused by the deep magma, the petrology and geochemistry of the lavas and associated gases. Of particular note are: an overview of the insights into the deep structure of the volcano that resulted from a major international seismic tomography experiment; and an analysis of the quantitative risk assessment process that has run now for most of the eruption, the longest such continuous assessment in the world.
The Eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat, from 1995 to 1999
The andesitic dome-building eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano wreaked havoc on the small Caribbean island of Montserrat. About half of this 'emerald Isle' was rendered barren and uninhabitable, almost two-thirds of the original population had to leave, and 19 lives were lost, all as a direct result of the volcanic activity. This papers in this volume address the chronology, dynamics, products and associated hazards of the eruption.

Montserrat on My Mind
Two-thirds of Montserrat, the author's homeland, has been devastated by continuous eruptions of the Soufriere Hills volcanoes. Montserrat is a small Island of the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, just forty square miles, but it has seven active volcanoes. In Montserrat on My Mind, the author has included several stories of Montserrat before the eruptions, and some during the crisis. Some stories have a tint of mystery, others a touch of Montserrat's humor, but all generally tell tales of Montserrat with a Caribbean flavor. There are three poems which relate to the volcano and the author's prayerful hope that Montserrat will rise again from the tons of magma that have buried so many of its p...
Fire from the Mountain
The island of Montserrat, a tiny British colony in the eastern Caribbean, suffered volcanic eruptions in 1995, the first in recorded history. This is the story of a natural disaster against a backdrop of island politics and imperial neglect.

The Volcano, Montserrat and Me
'As time moves on and memories fade this unique, compelling book will serve as an important and accurate first-hand record of traumatic events, faithfully and sensitively recounted by Lally Brown.' Professor Willy Aspinall CMG, Cabot Professor in Natural Hazards and Risk Science, University of Bristol. An enchanting slice of paradise is how the travel brochures described the Caribbean island of Montserrat in 1995. A relaxed retreat where millionaires rubbed shoulders with locals and pop legends like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Sting, Phil Collins and Elton John came to record their albums at Air Studios.
