	Mount Nyiragongo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nyiragongo and nearby Nyamuragira are together responsible for 40% of Africa's historical volcanic eruptions.
		The 1977 eruption raised awareness of the unique dangers posed by Nyiragongo, and because of this it was designated a Decade Volcano, worthy of particular study, in 1991.
		The 1977 eruption was preceded by the creation of a new small volcano, Murara, a short distance away on the slopes of Mount Nyamuragira.

		Nyamuragira and Nyiragongo are neighbouring volcanoes in the DRC, and are amongst the most active and dangerous in the world.
		Deformation within Nyamuragira’s summit caldera and NE flow field, were interpreted to result from shallow magma transport, and to a lesser extent, lava flow cooling, compaction and flexuring.
		Inflation on the NW flanks of Nyamuragira was interpreted as a response to magma accumulation prior to the 2002 eruption.

	Case study 1: Nyamuragira volcano
		The December 1996 Nyamuragira SO plume could also be tracked by the two TOMS instruments onboard the Adeos and Earthprobe platforms [http://skye.gsfc.nasa.gov/].
		Assuming tropospheric wind speeds between 5 and 10 m/s, this corresponds to a transport time of 2-5 days which is consistent with the lifetime of SO in the troposphere.
		SO values well outside the Nyamuragira plume are typically between zero and 1 DU with low standard deviations (0.2 DU) indicating low background SO where there are no strong local sources at this time of the year.
