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 ...
These groups have also worked to develop standard marine warning messages and to conduct outreach to the maritime community on the nature of volcanic hazards at sea. The primary concern is ash fall, which can diminish visibility, interfere with onboard electronics, radios, and possibly navigation ...

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. ...
These include solar variability and large explosive volcanic eruptions, both of which affect the amount of radiant energy available to the Earth's climate system, as well as the natural internal variability of the climate system.We emphasize that climatic changes alone are unlikely to be the sole...

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...
