Book condition : as new. - The increase in the number of earthquakes and in the temperature of the hot springs that occurred between 1995 and 1997 on the islands of Saba and St. Eustatius, located in the Northern Lesser Antilles, was more than a mere fluke in subterranean activity: a mild volcano-seismic crisis had produced an increased heat flow. This book contains the results of a profound study of Saba and the Quill, St. Eustatius, which provides a firm basis for the conclusion that both volcanoes are indeed active. The results were classified as confidential for very many years but at last are published for the first time here in full. Both authors strongly recommend routine monitoring on both densely populated islands and education of local island populations in understanding their volcanic hazards. ISBN 9789069843841.
