Key words Volcanic hazardsFiji archaeologyMonogenetic volcanismVolcanic legendsTaveuni is a Fijian ocean-island volcano that sporadically erupted throughout the Holocene. The 437-km 2 island is an active monogenetic volcanic field with a constantly shifting locus of activity along a single apparent ...
RiskScape can allow the evaluation of a single hazard, or cascading hazards such as earthquake ground shaking followed by liquefaction, or multiple volcanic hazards during a single eruption. At present the multiple volcanic hazards are treated independently, but the intent is to modify this in the ...

Major volcanic eruptions (MVEs) have attracted increasing attention from the scientific community. Previous studies have explored the climatic impact of MVEs over the past two millennia. However, proxy-based reconstructions and climate model simulations indicate divergent responses of global and China’s...
Plinian eruptions at Glacier Peak and Newberry volcanoes, United States: Implications for volcanic hazards in the Cascade Range Helens, Mount Rainier, and Mount Mazama (Crater Lake), these eruptions define the range of Plinian events that have occurred in the Cascade volcanic arc... JE Gardner,S...
Material left on the seafloor by bronze-age underwater volcanic eruptions is helping researchers better understand the size, hazards and climate impact of their parent eruptions, according to new research from theUniversity of British Columbia. ...
In addition to the phenomena recorded during the strong eruption of the Sarychev Peak volcano in 2009 (and during a number of eruptions of the 20th century), which scale and range of impact on the nature of the island has not been sufficiently studied, new signs of potential hazards have ...

However, periodically the processes that create such benefits (e.g., tectonic activity) become hazards (e.g., tectonic activity can create earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunami). For instance, the volcanic processes that contribute to creating fertile ......
Although the decline of the ozone layer is recognized to be the most significant factor [27,28], there are several other potential causes as well. For instance, particles and aerosols released into the stratosphere by volcanic eruptions have the potential to momentarily worsen ozone depletion [95...
