Research summary

VOGRIPA is the Volcanic Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project, the objectives of which are are to create a global database of volcanic activity, hazards and vulnerability information that can be analysed to identify locations at high risk from volcanism, gaps in knowledge about hazards and risk. It will allow scientists and disaster managers at specific locations to analyse risk within a global context of systematic information.

So far an online database of large magnitude explosive eruptions reaching back to the Quaternary has been constructed, which can be used to evaluate the magnitude-frequency relationship of such events, and also an ...
