A seismogram at the Montserrat Volcano Observatory registers a volcano-tectonic earthquake swarm on August 12, 1995, several weeks after the start of a long-term eruption.  Seismic monitoring is one of several tools used to help predict future eruptions and keep tabs on ongoing activity. Photo by Cynthia Gardner, 1995 (U.S. Geological Survey).
