THE 1995 TO PRESENT (2005) ERUPTION.

Numerous detailed publications have appeared and are gathered into three main volumes:

American Geophysical Union, 1998, Selected papers on “Eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat”, from Geophysical Research Letters, vol. 25, Numbers 18 and 19, p.3387 to 3,700.
