There is striking evidence that the dynamics of the Earth crust is controlled by a wide variety
of mutually dependent mechanisms acting at different spatial and temporal scales. The …

Any effective volcanic risk mitigation strategy requires a scientific assessment of the future
evolution of a volcanic system and its eruptive behavior. Some consider the onus should be …

The growing problem of changing environmental conditions caused by climate
destabilization is well recognized as one of the defining issues of our time. The root problem …

Over the past 25 years, our understanding of the physical processes that drive volcanic
eruptions has increased enormously thanks to major advances in computational and …

Large volcanic eruptions occurring in the last glacial period can be detected by their
accompanying sulfuric acid deposition in continuous ice cores. Here we employ continuous …

Originally prepared for the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, this is the first
comprehensive assessment of global volcanic hazards and risk, presenting the state of the …

A new database of volcanic fatalities is presented and analysed, covering the period 1600 to
2010 AD. Data are from four sources: the Smithsonian Institution, Witham (2005), CRED EM …

Atmospheric CO 2 exerts a robust and well-documented control on Earth's climate, but the
timing of glaciation during the late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA; ca. 360–260 Ma) is inconsistent …

Super-eruptions are extremely rare events. Indeed, the global frequency of explosive
volcanic eruptions is inversely proportional to the volume of magma released in a single …

Worst-case or high-end subduction-related earthquakes and tsunamis of 2004 and 2011 are
painfully fresh in our memories. High-end subduction-related volcanic eruptions have not …
