Abstract. Regional volcanic threat assessments provide a large-scale comparable vision of the posed by multiple volcanoes. They are useful for prioritising risk-mitigation actions and required local through international agencies, industries governments to prioritise where further study support could be focussed. Most regional studies have oversimplified hazards their associated impacts relying...

Abstract In this work we present the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI) Commission on Volcanic Hazards Risk (CVHR) Hazard Maps Database accompanying volcanichazardmaps.org website. Using input from a series IAVCEI CVHR Working Group Mapping workshops, developed classification scheme terminology framework for categorizing, discussing, naming, searchi...

The processes involved in volcanic eruptions, from magma generation at depth to eruption and emplacement of deposits at the surface, comprise a suite of interlinked physical phenomena. In seeking to understand volcanic behavior, volcanologists call on a diversity of physics subdisciplines, including fl uid dynamics, thermodynamics, solid mechanics, ballistics, and acoustics, to name just a few....

The United States has no comprehensive national warning strategy that covers all hazards in all places. Instead, public warning practices are decentralized across different governments and the private sector. Uneven preparedness to issue warnings exists across local communities; hence, people are unevenly protected from the surprise onset of natural disasters. Without changes in this situation,...

Earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic activity are some of the natural hazards studied by the experts and that still studied nowadays [1]. These natural phenomena are considered inevitable due to its natural origin and its large scale. However, these can be predicted thanks to the wide range of projects and methods developed by scientists. As a result the predictions are becoming more efficient an...

Volcanic eruptions represent hazards for local communities and infrastructure. Monogenetic volcanoes (usually) erupt only once, then volcanic activity moves to another location, making quantitative assessment of eruptive challenging. Spatio-temporal patterns in the occurrence these may provide valuable information on locations more likely host future within monogenetic fields. While eruption hi...
