The effects of large magnitude (M ≥4.0) explosive eruptions can be catastrophic on a local and potentially global scale. The largest eruptions (M ≥8.0) can disperse ejecta over thousands of km2. As the last known event of this kind took place ~26,500... Read More about Global frequency of large magnitude explosive volcanic eruptions recorded in the last 100,000 years.

Large explosive volcanic eruptions can have severe consequences for life, property and climate. In the most extreme cases this can cause catastrophes on a global scale. Extreme value statistics can be used to evaluate the magnitude-frequency relation... Read More about Global database of large magnitude explosive eruptions for magnitude-frequency analysis.
