The ECLIPSE Programme encapsulates 5 Research Aims:
1. Developing a caldera Health System to diagnose the present volcanoes' conditions
2. Identify what causes switches between dormancy, unrest and eruption
3. Produce decision-support tools with our end users
4. Model the eruption dynamics and estimate impacts for future events
5. Implement mitigation strategies for future eruptions based on our eruption hazard and impact models
Research Aim 1: Developing a caldera Health System to diagnose the present volcanoes' conditions
