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 ...
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 ......
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...

Climate engineering hazards significantly environmental risk that places it far beyond the consideration of today's China. However, China should closely monitor and perhaps join the global discussion on governance relating to climate engineering, including participation in current international schemes and po...
there is no current mechanism for evaluating compound volcanic impacts – e.g., the impact of a building first exposed to tephra fall and then several weeks later, exposed to lahar. As such, in the instance of modelling the effects of multiple volcanic hazards, at this stage care needs to...
