A statistical analysis of the global historical volcanic fatalities record

Melanie Auker, Robert Sparks, Lee Siebert et al. · 14 Feb 2013

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-DAT and Munich RE. The data were combined and formatted, with a weighted average fatality figure used where more than one source reports an event; the former…

Global database on large magnitude explosive volcanic eruptions (LaMEVE)

H. S. Crosweller, Baneet Arora, Sarah Krystyna Brown et al. · 10 Sep 2012

To facilitate the assessment of hazards and risk from volcanoes, we have created a comprehensive global database of Quaternary Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions (LaMEVE). This forms part of the larger Volcanic Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA), and also forms part of the Global Volcano Model (GVM) initiative ( http://www.globalvolcanomodel.org ). A flexible…

Volcanic fatalities database: analysis of volcanic threat with distance and victim classification

Sarah Brown, Susanna F. Jenkins, R. S. J. Sparks et al. · 20 Sep 2017

Volcanoes can produce far-reaching hazards that extend distances of tens or hundreds of kilometres in large eruptions, or in certain conditions for smaller eruptions. About a tenth of the world’s population lives within the potential footprint of volcanic hazards and lives are regularly lost through volcanic activity: volcanic fatalities were recorded in 18 of the…

Characterisation of the Quaternary eruption record: analysis of the Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions (LaMEVE) database

Sarah Krystyna Brown, H. S. Crosweller, Robert Sparks et al. · 25 Mar 2014

The Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions (LaMEVE) database contains data on 1,883 Quaternary eruption records of magnitude (M) 4 and above and is publically accessible online via the British Geological Survey. Spatial and temporal analysis of the data indicates that the record is incomplete and is thus biased. The recorded distribution of volcanoes is variable…

Synthesis of global satellite observations of magmatic and volcanic deformation: implications for volcano monitoring & the lateral extent of magmatic domains

S. K. Ebmeier, B. J. Andrews, María C. Araya et al. · 6 Feb 2018

Global Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) measurements made over the past decades provide insights into the lateral extent of magmatic domains, and capture volcanic process on scales useful for volcano monitoring. Satellite-based SAR imagery has great potential for monitoring topographic change, the distribution of eruptive products and surface displacements (InSAR) at subaerial volcanoes. However, there are…
