The role of tropical volcanic eruptions in exacerbating Indian droughts [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) is vital for the livelihood of millions of people in the Indian region; droughts caused by monsoon failures often resulted in famines.

Global time-size distribution of volcanic eruptions on Earth [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Volcanic eruptions differ enormously in their size and impacts, ranging from quiet lava flow effusions along the volcano flanks to colossal events with the potential to affect our entire civilization.

Global catastrophic risk from lower magnitude volcanic eruptions. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 Globalisation supports the clustering of critical infrastructure systems, sometimes in proximity to lower-magnitude (VEI 3–6) volcanic centres. In this emerging risk landscape, moderate volcanic eruptions might have cascading, catastrophic effects.

A review framework of how earthquakes trigger volcanic eruptions. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 It is generally accepted that tectonic earthquakes may trigger volcanic activity, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly constrained. Here, we review current knowledge, and introduce a novel framework to help characterize earthquake-triggering ...

Global hydroclimatic response to tropical volcanic eruptions over the last millennium. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Significance Future large tropical volcanic eruptions will induce global hydroclimatic changes, superimposed on anthropogenic climate change. Understanding how volcanic eruptions affect global hydroclimate is therefore critically important. Tejedor et al.

ITCZ shift and extratropical teleconnections drive ENSO response to volcanic eruptions. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2020 Volcanic eruptions trigger ENSO response through shifts in the ITCZ and extratropical-to-tropical teleconnections. The mechanisms through which volcanic eruptions affect the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) state are still controversial.

Automatic precursor recognition and real-time forecasting of sudden explosive volcanic eruptions at Whakaari, New Zealand. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 Sudden steam-driven eruptions strike without warning and are a leading cause of fatalities at touristic volcanoes. Recent deaths following the 2019 Whakaari eruption in New Zealand expose a need for accurate, short-term forecasting.

Forecasting Volcanic Eruptions [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020 Forecasting natural events such as landslides, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions is a difficult problem compounded by conflicting expectations. Society wants accurate warnings of these events, yet the scientific com munity is not able to provide forecasts as accurate as desired because these natural events are only partly understood.

Global ozone depletion and increase of UV radiation caused by pre-industrial tropical volcanic eruptions. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Large explosive tropical volcanic eruptions inject high amounts of gases into the stratosphere, where they disperse globally through the large-scale meridional circulation.
