Forecasting sizes and repose times of future extreme volcanic events
- Abstract:
-
By using rank-order statistics, it is possible to predict the likely scale of future "extreme" volcanic events (eruptions larger than a given threshold size, or repose periods longer than a given time) on both a local and global scale. When ranked by diminishing size, the largest and most devastating volcanic eruptions in terms of volume, or consequent fatalities, can be described by power-law functions. In turn, this approach permits projection of, for example, (1) the likely size of the nex...
