volcano

Geologic study can help us to identify potential hazards associated with volcanoes, quantify the probability of those hazards occurring, and inform local governments of mitigation practices or policies to reduce potential harm to life and infrastructure. In this writing assignment, you will choose one volcano of your interest to investigate. This volcano can be located anywhere in the world (exception Antarctica). Your objective of this writing assignment is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the geology of your volcano, associated volcanic hazards to proximal communities, and potential mitigation to reduce the risk to population centers that may be impacted by future eruptive events. Your proposed mitigation will need to balance future development pressures and societal needs with protection of life and property.
