Volcanology

Our volcanological research themes are aimed at building the knowledge base to inform and forewarn communities, governments, businesses, and humanitarian and development agencies about the physical processes operating at volcanoes and the impacts of volcanic eruptions.

The ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºHC undertakes fundamental environmental, applied and strategic research in hazards driven by volcanoes. Such research is needed more than ever before because increasing global population and mountingÌýexposureÌýto these hazards have seen social and economic impacts soar.
