Lava, Ash Flows, Mudslides and Nasty Gases: Good Reasons to Respect Volcanoes

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Volcanoes are beautiful and awe-inspiring, but the ongoing eruption of Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island is showing how dangerous these events can be. So far this event has destroyed dozens of homes and displaced hundreds of people, but no deaths or serious injuries have been reported. Other volcanic eruptions have had deadlier impacts.
