Review of the 2022 eruption of Tonga Volcano —Implications for domestic volcano monitoring researches

On January 15^th, 2022, a submarine volcano in Tonga erupted violently and explosively, ejecting a large amount of ash, gas and water vapor which entered the stratosphere to form a huge ash cloud. The volcanic eruption caused widespread concern at home and abroad. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the geological background, eruption history, eruption process, disaster impact, and eruption mechanism of the Tonga Volcano. This draws attention to the current activity of active volcanoes in China, especially to Changbaishan Tianchi volcano, which is the largest active volcano with most potentially catastrophic eruption risk. It warns us that we should take precautionary measures to further strengthen the monitoring and early warning of domestic volcanic hazards. Drawing on the experience of this volcanic disaster in Tonga, it is particularly important to scientifically study and judge the dynamics of volcanoes and improve the domestic volcanic disaster risk monitoring and early warning system.
