Volcano 'black box' could accurately predict eruptions YEARS in advance VOLCANIC eruptions could be predicted years in advance after scientists developed the equivalent of a 'black box' flight recorder. A study of crystals from an eruption in New Zealand about 700 years ago found a pattern in the thermal history of magma that reveals when the next one is due. The analysis found it went through a comparatively 'cool' period for thousands of years before heating up. Once temperatures reached 750 degrees Celsius, it was a short amount of time - decades or less - before an eruption occurred.
