... a scientific understanding of the processes that govern • Identify priority research and observations the storage, ascent, and eruption of magma. Yet our needed to improve understanding of volcanic eruptions understanding of volcanic systems is incomplete and and to inform monitoring and early warning efforts.

... magma and greatly improve the quality of short-term, Progress in forecasting also requires theoretical and months to minutes, forecasts. The time is ripe to test experimental advances in understanding eruption prothese models with observations from new instrumenta- cesses, characterization of the thermal and mechanical tion, data collected on fine temporal and spatial scales, properties of magmas and their host rocks, and model and multidisciplinary synthesis.
