Disha Okhai researches ancient volcanoes to learn about the patterns and processes that provide valuable information about how magma accumulates, moves, and triggers volcanic eruptions. This historical perspective allows for the identification of key indicators and precursors that signify an impending volcanic eruption. Armed with this knowledge, modern monitoring techniques can be fine-tuned to detect early warning signs of impending eruptions more effectively, leading to more accurate forecasts and enabling communities living in volcanic-prone areas to be better prepared and respond swiftly to potential threats.
