Open AccessUpper holocene tephro-chronostratigraphy of Irazú Volcano, Costa Rica
Irazú is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Costa Rica. We present the tephro-chronostratigraphy of the last 2.6 ka of the Irazú volcano based on detailed field work and C14 radiometric dating, as we...

Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment at the Canary Islands
The term “multi-hazard” is a concept that is increasingly gaining ground in national and international disaster reduction policies. However, its implementation is still timid, and the initiatives that have bee...

Geoethics: The Missing Piece in the Separation of Responsibility Between Volcanologists and Decision-Makers
In a volcanic crisis, authorized decision-makers must balance the social and economic costs of mitigating actions, such as evacuation, against the potential human losses if such actions are insufficient. In ma...

From Magma Source to Volcanic Sink Under Tagoro Volcano (El Hierro, Canary Islands): Petrologic, Geochemical and Physiographic Evolution of the 2011–2012 Submarine Eruption
Active volcanoes are key laboratories to carry out detailed research -and monitoring- about the history of magmas before, during and after eruptions. Tagoro, the submarine active volcano at El Hierro Island (C...

Open AccessIncrement in the volcanic unrest and number of eruptions after the 2012 large earthquakes sequence in Central America
Understanding the relationship cause/effect between tectonic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is a striking topic in Earth Sciences. Volcanoes erupt with variable reaction times as a consequence of the impac...

The historical case of Paricutin volcano (Michoacán, México): challenges of simulating lava flows on a gentle slope during a long-lasting eruption
Simulating lava flows on a gentle slope is complex since they can propagate in a wide range of directions. It is an even greater challenge to define lava flow trajectories when an eruption lasts over several y...

Identification, cataloguing and preservation of outcrops of geological interest in monogenetic volcanic fields: the case of La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park
Volcanic zones are important geoheritage sites. Active volcanic fields are of special interest because they allow to observe the complex and interesting stratigraphic relationships that often characterise thei...
