Fifteen Years of Intense Eruptive Activity (1998–2013) at Piton de la Fournaise Volcano: A Review

Part of the book series: Active Volcanoes of the World ((AVOLCAN))

Abstract

Piton de la Fournaise (La Réunion Island) is amongst the most active volcanoes in the world, having had about 130 eruptions during the last century. Over the last 50 years it has produced 970 Mm3 of magma, at a mean eruption rate of 19.4 Mm3 per year, of which 489 Mm3 had been erupted over the last 15 years (at a rate of 32.7 Mm3 per year). This indicates a relative increase in its output. In this paper we present a detailed description of the high volcanic activity spanning the 1998–2013 period (eruptive precursors, location, characteristics and volume of emitted lavas, …). This period of high volcanic activity has been the subject of numerous studies that have led to significant advances in the knowledge of the shape and dynamics of the shallow plumbing system of the volcano.

The authors wish to thank the Institut National des Sciences de l’Univers, the Conseil Général de La Réunion, le Conseil Régional de La Réunion, the «prefecture de la Réunion» and in particular the FEDER funding (Fonds européen de développement regional) for their precious financial help to support the OVPF and allowed the equipment of Piton de la Fournaise by a dense and powerful network. We are also grateful to the Gendarmerie for logistical help during eruptions and we thank the members of the IPGP and all others, which we can not all mention, for their help during the long nights of survey in front of the computer screens at the observatory waiting the eruptions to come out and during the field work in order to get the best possible lava samples and observations. Paule Annick Davoine and Cecile Saint-Marc are warmly thanked for their great help in mapping the lava flows. We are particularly grateful to the anonymous reviewer who made the manuscript readable.
