Reykjavik University - Volcanic Hazards Research Team

The Reykjavik University Volcanic Hazards Research Team studies how volcanoes erupt and the risks they pose, especially in Iceland’s active volcanic environment. Their work involves monitoring eruptions, analyzing volcanic activity, and developing methods to predict future eruptions. This research helps improve safety plans and reduce damage from volcanic events for local communities and infrastructure. By understanding volcano behavior, the team aims to provide valuable information to emergency responders, government agencies, and the public, fostering better preparedness and risk management in volcanic regions.
