Global Volcanism Program

Description:
The Global Volcanism Program (GVP) seeks better understanding of all volcanoes through documenting their eruptions--small as well as large--during the past 10,000 years. This effort has led to development of comprehensive computer databases and an archive of relevant maps, photos, and documents.
