The damage and loss of life caused by volcanic eruptions are small compared with those caused by automobile accidents, wars, earthquakes and storms. However, volcanoes constitute a major threat to the ever-increasing number of people living on or near them. While most eruptions are small and ...
Here are a few of the more common hazards, and some of the ways that they are formed and behave. (Please note that this is intended as a source of basic information only, and should not be treated as a survival guide by those who live near a volcano. Always listen to the warnings ...
Tropical cyclone Seroja was one of the first cyclones to strike near-equatorial regions of Indonesia and East Timor. The unusual cyclogenesis close to a land mass was due to “perfect storm” conditions associated with multiple wave interactions. ...

Thus, our synthesis of modelling methods can facilitate their selection that can maximise opportunities and refute the current political hesitation of NBS deployment compared with grey solutions for HMR management but also for the provision of a wide range of social and economic co-benefits. However,...
The ever-expanding use of areas near the volcano increases the potential impact of future eruptions on the regional economy and on the health and safety of the inhabitants5. The increasing exposure of a larger population, which has almost tripled in the area around Mt. Etna during the last ...
