While numerous global initiatives exist for addressing the potential hazards posed by volcanic eruption events, there does not yet exist a single, unified, international system of early warning and hazard tracking of eruptions. Numerous gaps exist in the risk reduction cycle, from data collection, to data processing, and finally dissemination of salient information to relevant parties. As part of the 2008 International Space University's Space Studies Program a detailed gap analysis of the state of volcano disaster risk reduction was undertaken, the results of which are presented herein. This gap analysis considered current sensor technologies, data processing algorithms, and utilization of data products by various international organizations. Recommendations on strategies for minimizing or eliminating certain gaps are also provided.
