Volcanoes and V Guide - Resources and Review

Names, locations and dates of current eruptions of volcanoes around the world.
 
Collection of satellite pictures and movies of recent major events such as hurricanes and volcanoes.
 
Aims to provide information about volcanoes to the public. Includes information about current global volcanic activity, research in remote sensing of volcanoes and their eruptive products, and hazard mitigation.
 
Extensive resources relating to the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens, with over 1500 images and related resources.
 
Extensive collection of reports and images of volcanoes, including Volcano of the Week and a volcano index by country.
 
Pictures, maps and reports of current volcanic activity in Montserrat.
 
Links to live and 'almost
live' views of volcanoes in the US, Italy, Japan, and New Zealand.
 
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitors and researches volcanoes in Hawaii. Includes current activity reports, hazard information a history of the two main volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa and information on three other volcanoes that are either active or potentially active.
 
Pictures, reports, alert bulletins and latest news from Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand.
 
Satellite images of the world's ten most active volcanoes including Shishaldin, Etna, Popocatepetl and Guagua Pichincha. The latest images are updated every half hour and a Java animation feature splices together the last four images to show a simulation over a two
hour period.
 
Index to geology and environmental resources, covering the topics of Environmental Geology and Human Existence, Getting Around in Geology, Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Weathering and Soils, Landslides and Mass Wasting, Subsidence and Collapse, Water On Land, Water Under the Ground, Oceans and Coasts, Extreme Climates, Energy, Mineral Resources, and Waste Management.
 
World map with details of recent and ongoing volcanic activity.
 
Research and theory in geophysics, geochemistry, sedimentology, geomorphology, petrology, plate tectonics, volcanology, structural geology, mineralogy, and planetary sciences. Tables of contents available.
 
Photographs, latitude and longitude, height, date of last eruption and descriptive information about numerous active volcanoes in over 40 countries in the world.
 
A cooperative program between the US Geological Survey, the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, and the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical surveys. Information about over 40 active volcanoes in Alaska, with maps and real
time geophysical data.
 
Index to 500 earth science journals, with topics including analytical techniques, atmospheric sciences, cartography, geophysics, mineralogy, ocean sciences, planetary sciences, and volcanology. This French mirror also includes links to other Earth Science resources, some of which are in French.
 
An international journal on the geophysical, geochemical, petrological, economic and environmental aspects of volcanology and geothermal research.
 
Map showing the Earth's physiographic features, the current movements of its major tectonic plates, and the locations of its volcanoes, earthquakes, and impact craters. The use of colour and shaded relief helps identify significant features of the land surface and the ocean floor. Over 1,500 volcanoes active during the past 10,000 years are plotted on the map in four age categories. The locations (epicentres) of over 24,000 earthquakes, largely from 1960 through 1990, are plotted in three magnitude categories and in two depth ranges. The document is in PDF format and requires Acrobat Reader 3.0 to view and print.
 
Association that represents the primary international focus for research in volcanology, efforts to mitigate volcanic disasters, and research into related disciplines, such as igneous geochemistry and petrology, geochronology, volcanogenic mineral deposits, and the physics of the generation and ascent of magmas in the upper mantle and crust.
