Commission on explosive volcanism

Welcome to Commission on explosive volcanism

Ongoing volcanic activity

The primary aims of the Commission on Explosive Volcanism are

to foster modern, process-oriented studies of pyroclastic rocks,
to encourage communication between scientists from the various branches of research directed to such studies,
to provide input into other areas such as volcanic hazards and atmospheric impacts, and
to promote interest in explosive volcanism and its products. Research interests focus on the processes of explosive eruptions, volcano evolution, and magmatic influences on eruption dynamics.
