VUELCO deliverable 7.5: Guidelines for the best practice of scientific management of volcanic unrest
09 Sep 2015 | Contributor(s): dmitri rouwet
Volcanic eruption forecasting and hazard assessment are multi-disciplinary processes with scientific and social implications. Our limited knowledge and the randomness of the processes behind a volcanic eruption yields the need of quantifying uncertainties on volcano dynamics. With deterministic...

VOLADA – the first collaborative data base on Volcanic Lakes
23 Aug 2013 | Contributor(s): dmitri rouwet, Veronica Chiarini
There are more volcanic lakes on Earth than previously thought. The here presented data base is first in its kind and compiles the available information on ~340 volcanic lakes worldwide. It aims to become a complete and interactive tool, in which researchers can add, extract and use data in a...

Towards a probabilistic scheme: How can we recognize and track non-magmatic unrest and related hazards?
18 Feb 2014 | Contributor(s): dmitri rouwet, Laura Sandri, Warner Marzocchi, Jo Gottsmann
Eruption forecasting is a major goal in volcanology. The intrinsic complexity and non-linearity of volcanic systems has recently led to an intertwining of deterministic to probabilistic eruption forecasting methods. However, many volcanoes often pass states of non-eruptive and non-magmatic unrest...

Science & Arts workshops to increase volcanic risk awareness: Chapultenango, near El Chichón volcano (Chiapas, Mexico)
23 Aug 2013 | Contributor(s): dmitri rouwet, marta iorio, Demetrio Polgovsky
This independent and informal study is based on good-will, common sense, working ethics and morality, rather than on a pre-meditated education method or strategy, with the goal to increase the public awareness of volcanic risk in the Zoque indigenous community of Chapultenango, near El Chichón...
