very interesting article. Hope much more research is done about it, cause it can be a potentially very dangerous situation

Enfin journal election qui la une des journaux quand nou malhereux aper menacer

Ah Ha! that is certainly cause for concern, particularly for those living in the vicinity of Trou Aux Cerfs

En lisant cette article, je n'arrete pas de penser au rves que j'ai eu il y a
2 mois. Le trou au cerf rveill; l'image des personnes panniqus, songer ses
enfants qui sont l'cole,qui aller
chercher en premier, aller la la creche, l"ecole ...fume, chaleur, bref...j'tais
rassur mon rveil mais ce rve m'avait perturb.
Venons au fait, peut coincidence, que sais je mais soyons raliste..on a pas
l'exprience ou l'habitude des volcans comme la Runion. La Runion est un pays
habitu ses activits volcanique et cela ne pannique personne car la route
des laves sont traces et les alentours sont inhabites sur plusieurs kms.

A l'ile Maurice, les experts ne sont pas prparer et les procdures doivent
tre valides par les responsables. Bien sur, les politiciens ne vont pas
prendre le risque de pannique tt le monde, les touristes, l'immobilier, bref
l'investissement...certes c'est un risque...et c'est leur carriere qui en depend.mais c'est aussi des centaines de milliers de vies perdu cause de cela.

j'espere tt de meme que les experts vont accenturer leur recherches pour avoir + de
donnes precis. quand au expert tanger, et bien je pense qu"il ne faut pas prendre
de risque de perdre le temps de les attendre. ils attendent peut que la situation soit plus
critique pour se dplacement. et puis, n'oublions pas le cas du chikungunya, la runion,
dparetement franaise, a eu de l'aide uniquement quand la situation t critique. c'est la meme
chose en guadeloupe. donc comptons sur nos propres moyens en commenant les recherches avec l'espoir
que s'il y a d'autres donnes, ils viendront..ces eXpert.

Thumb-up Vassen, But I see that you're fighting alone in this delicate situation. Je ne suis pas un scientist, mais comme j'aime bouquiner surtout sur les catastrophes naturelles, Je crois a la 3eme hypothese. I hope that our Government will support you to do further research about it.

Hopefully the government will start planning adequately and invest appropriately! But knowing Mauritius and they way things are and have been managed there since time immemorial, i guess this article will be forgotten and nothing will be done! No point even wasting my time writing this!

It should be noted that it may not be necessarily the krater of Trou aux Cerf which can erupt since we have 26 kraters in Mauritius, and according to an article in weekend in 1997, research said symptoms to an eruption of a volcano, are earthquake and increase in the size of the krater etc but all these should be near the zone of the would be eruption. I think many of you are not aware that the glissement terrain occured in piton was infact an earthquake of magnitude of 5.1 as per the preliminary report of the USGS, the same organisation our oceanograph is consulting to confirm his research, hence we should be have a krater not far from piton, so why not an eruption, but we are confirmed anyway. We can only wait for these people to give their reports and hope the govt do the necessary for our population.

Tout le monde pense que c'est le trou aux cerfs qui risque d'exploser alors que cela pourrait se passer sur une autre partie de l'ile. il se pourrait que les glissements de terrains Piton soient dus une activit sous terraine du la pression gazeuse...

Trop comique commentaires Bryan....mort de rire

Doctor you said we need to plan and invest appropriate;y. Can i know what you intent to plan and invest to prevent an eruption????

I am rather sceptical about the facts put forward which are supposed to indicate an imminent euruption in Mauritius......as somebody had already pointed out in an earlier post, the hot spot which created the island is no longer in the proximity of Mtius...in fact it is now to the south west of Reunion island....this is due to the movement of the tectonic plate on which the island sits....Reunion is still in an active area due to the hot spot which is still very close to the island....Mauritius should be however relatively safe from any furthur eruptions...the risks of this ever happening again are very small indeed.

le terme employer n'est pas "menace", mais "activit", cela replace l'article dans son contexte exact, c'est dire que les mouvements des plaques tectonique font remonter le magma plus haut que d'ordinaire dans les couches terrestres et donc ceci provoque une variation de la composition chimique des sols qui se rpercute dans les nappes phratiques

can anyone tell me if the water in mare aux vacoas will be affected as we are getting acid rain falling, is the water we are drinking safe everyone? or should we be worried of the kind of water that we are drinking?

si jamais enterre dechets dans la terre pa ene bon technique, mare- chicose bizin pose la question... zot croire ene bon zaffaire enterre dechets, apres zot di volcan. si jamais volcan ki pe gate nappe phreatique beh la reunion aussi ti pour ne sa problme la..

well, historically there is clear evidence that there is no extinct vocanoes

there are dorment volcanoes not extinct ones. their status should be monitored as no ne can tell when they will erupt.

study have been carried on by the volcano sailorsweb site hero.ac.uk/uk/2001 volcano sailors indian ocean and they have found volcano erupting in sea earth near mauritius and madagascar the government of mauritius should make study of our dormant volcano and risk of sunami near mauritius

maurice pou fini sa!!!!!!!!!!!!! our island is too small and the cosequences will be very catastrope if the volcano wake up! so shuld we run?

There is some underground connection between Mauritius and Reunion. Perhaps some magma or lava or ash from La Fournaise have been contaminating the undergrounds in Mauritius. Needs to check!!

tro boukou pecher dan sa pei la

Do we have other possible causes of increase in acidity in our water?

like government of mauritius havedone cellule de crise for tsunami one must be done for volcano also sinon sa panique pou ena. how to evacuate people in which region where will these people go
