Underwater volcano disaster - an Oxford Sparks Animation
19 Mar 2014 | Contributor(s): David Pyle
A short (2 minute) animation of a subduction zone and volcano, introducing the processes involved in subduction, melting and volcanism.This animation can be used as a stand alone item, or in a classroom. We have developed some class activities around an exercise in volcano monitoring at an...

Volcanic clouds observed by the A-Train satellite constellation
12 Mar 2012 | Contributor(s): Simon Carn
A collection of images showing volcanic eruption clouds detected by NASA's A-Train satellite constellation, which includes the Aqua, CALIPSO, CloudSat and Aura satellites. These examples demonstrate the unique ability of the A-Train to provide coincident, multi-spectral, active and passive remote...

Volcanic Record Completeness Workshop - IAVCEI, Portland, August 13 2017
01 Sep 2017 | Contributor(s): Susanna Jenkins, Mark Bebbington
The purpose of the workshop was to explore issues around what makes volcanic records incomplete, how to detect incompleteness, and how to deal with incompleteness when estimating hazard. A good number of early career researchers were encouraged to attend, supported by a grant from the...

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...
