Below we want to highlight new research advancing our understanding of volcanic hazard and risks around the world. Take your time to read through the papers and submit your own recent research here to be considered for our next spotlight!
Hazard and Exposure at Corbetti, Ethiopia
| For our first research spotlight, we’re going to Corbetti volcanic system (Ethiopia). Researchers from Ethiopia, Belgium, and the UK […] conducted a hazard and exposure assessment to show that even small eruptions could have significant impacts on nearby agriculture and infrastructure due to tephra hazard. Read the paper here published in November 2026. |
