Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program

The Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program is a scientific initiative that monitors and documents volcanic activity worldwide. It collects data on eruptions, volcano status, and related hazards to better understand volcanic behavior and inform public safety. By tracking volcanoes, providing updates, and maintaining a comprehensive database, the program helps researchers, governments, and communities prepare for and respond to volcanic events. Ultimately, it aims to enhance global knowledge about volcanoes and reduce the risks associated with eruptions.
