Quote
"Significant portions of the world's population are at risk from the impacts of volcanic activity. While the timing of eruptions may be unknown or uncertain, their impacts and long term effects can be assessed. Recent eruptions, such as Chaiten Volcano, Chile, and Mt. Merapi, Indonesia, have demonstrated the devastating impacts of volcanic activity on nearby landscapes and communities. The 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruptions, although small by world standards, highlighted the vulnerability of the modern day global society to minor eruptions. Over the last few decades it has been recognized that integrated multi-disciplinary research is needed to provide an understanding of the social, economic and cultural factors that influence the development of strong communities, resilient to the impacts of volcano hazards and able to respond effectively when events occur. This journal aims to provide a forum for such research."

Aims & scope
Journal of Applied Volcanology is an international journal with a focus on multi-disciplinary applied research and the societal impacts related to active volcanism. The journal aims for rapid publication of research papers at a high scientific level.
Research topics covered by the journal include; understanding the impacts of volcanoes on communities, improving risk management and enhancing community mitigation, preparedness, response to and recovery from volcanic hazard events; development of analytical instruments and methods; new proxies and lab techniques; methods of observation; and tools and techniques for remote sensing.
The journal welcomes proposals for special issues reflecting the trends in volcanology and other related disciplines.
Upcoming events
Cities on volcanoes 7
19-23 November 2012
Colima, Mexico
The main objective of the conference is to establish a link between scientists, society and decision-makers in order to develop integrated risk management, by encouraging the exchange of experiences and knowledge regarding volcanic phenomena, its impact on society and environment, and by improving risk reduction measures.
