Earth and Io are the only bodies in the Solar System with active, high-temperature volcanoes, but volcanoes on Io are larger and hotter - as well as more violent." "This book, the first dedicated to volcanism on Io, contains the latest results from the Galileo mission, In addition to investigating the different styles and scales of volcanic activity on Io, it compares those volcanoes to their contemporaries on Earth. The book also provides background on how volcanoes form and how they erupt, and explains quantitatively how remote-sensing data from spacecraft and telescopes are analyzed to reveal underlying volcanic processes." "This illustrated book will be a reference for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in planetary sciences, volcanology, remote sensing, and geology."--BOOK JACKET.
