"Other scientists have tried, in the past, to build models that can forecast phreatic eruptions from tremor readings. But unlike Hawaii’s fire fountains and lava flows, these types of eruptions have proven harder to predict. Shane Cronin, a volcanologist at the University of Auckland, says the only chance scientists have of anticipating these steam-driven events is to do a better job tracking the vapor and liquid pressure inside such hydrothermal systems."
