Volcanic risk assessment: integrating hazard and social vulnerability analysis
The vulnerability of communities at risk from volcanic activity at Volcan Tungurahua, Ecuador and Mount Rainier in the USA provided the focus for this thesis. The research aimed to develop an integrated approach to risk assessments that combined both hazard and vulnerability analysis. In phase one, …

Assessing the Spatial Distribution of Volcanic Risk for Tourists on the Island of Santorini
… currently have little insight into the potential volcanic risks associated with the geographical location and geological conditions. To date, a wide body of research has mostly focussed on volcanism in and around Santorini, both past and present. In recent years, the number of tourists that visit …

The use of Geographical Information Systems for Disaster Risk Reduction strategies: a case study of Volcán de Colima, Mexico
Historically, volcanic research has been focussed primarily upon the geological hazard of eruptions while the exposure of the population at risk is often understudied. However, contemporary disaster risk management requires the analysis of vulnerability and hazard exposure, which is imperative at …

Data-driven approaches towards understanding trace metal and magmatic processes in arc volcanoes, with applications to Java, Indonesia
… change, have resulted in higher degrees of human risk exposure to natural disasters like volcanoes. Such increased volcanic risk is especially pronounced along tectonic plate margins like subduction zones (or "arcs"), where explosive volcanism is more common. The aforementioned social and economic …

A GIS-Based Volcanic Hazard and Risk Assessment of Eruptions Sourced within Valles Caldera, New Mexico
… in the United States due to the great amount of volcanic activity over the last 1.61 Ma. Although Valles caldera is currently dormant, there is potential for future volcanic activity, and therefore it is prudent to assess the risk to the surrounding area well before a disaster strikes. The …

Geochemistry of Melt Inclusions from the Fondo Riccio and Minopoli 1 Eruptions at Campi Flegrei (Italy)
Campi Flegrei is a large volcanic complex located west of the city of Naples, Italy. The area has been the site of volcanic activity for more than 60 ka and represents a potential volcanic hazard owing to the large local population. In this study, the geochemistry of the magma associated with two …

Using Computer Visualisations to Educate and Communicate Volcanic Hazards to At-Risk Communities
… number of people living in proximity to active volcanic centres worldwide, there is a greater need to provide effective and engaging education and outreach programmes to reduce vulnerability and prepare exposed communities for potential future volcanic eruptions. The finalisation of the Sendai …
