A significant eruption is classified as one that meets at least one of the following criteria: caused fatalities, caused moderate damage (approximately $1 million or more), Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 6 or greater, generated a tsunami, or was associated with a significant earthquake. The database provides information on the latitude, longitude, elevation, type of volcano, last known eruption, VEI index, and socio-economic data such as the total number of casualties, injuries, houses destroyed, and houses damaged, and $ dollage damage estimates. References, political geography, and additional comments are also provided for each eruption. If the eruption was associated with a tsunami or significant earthquake, it is flagged and linked to the related database. For a complete list of current and past activity for all volcanoes on the planet active during the last 10,000 years, please see Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program (GVP). purpose: These data are necessary for volcanic hazard assessments and mitigation efforts. status: (MD_ProgressCode) onGoing pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: Nicolas Arcos organisationName: DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: (303) 497-3158 facsimile: (303) 497-6513 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/NE42 city: Boulder administrativeArea: CO postalCode: 80305-3328 country: USA electronicMailAddress: haz.info@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) asNeeded graphicOverview: (MD_BrowseGraphic) fileName: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/hazard/icons/73900106.jpg fileDescription: A lava fountain from the 1959 eruption of Kilauea Iki, Hawaii. fileType: jpg descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Volcanoes > Eruption Dynamics keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Volcanoes > Lava keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Volcanoes > Magma keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Volcanoes > Pyroclastics keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Volcanoes > Volcanic Ash/Dust type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2020-01-09 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication edition: 9.1 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords name: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords description: The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

It is based principally on the erupted mass or volume of a deposit (Newhall and Self, 1982).

When a dollar amount for damage was found in the literature, it was listed in the Damage column in millions of U.S. dollars. The dollar value listed is the value at the time of the event. To convert the damage to current dollar values, please use the Consumer Price Index Calculator. Monetary conversion tables for the time of the event were used to convert foreign currency to U.S. dollars. dimension: (MD_Band) sequenceIdentifier: MemberName: aName: Number of Houses Destroyed by the Eruption attributeType: (unknown) descriptor: Whenever possible, number of houses destroyed by the eruption are listed. rangeElementDescription: (MI_RangeElementDescription) name: Description of Number of Deaths from the Eruption definition: When a description was found in the historical literature instead of an actual number of deaths, this value was coded and listed in the Deaths D column.

If the actual dollar amount of damage was listed, a descriptor was also added for search purposes. When possible, a rough estimate was made of the dollar amount of damage based upon the description provided, in order to choose the damage category. In many cases, only a single descriptive term was available. These terms were converted to the damage categories based upon the authors apparent use of the term elsewhere. In the absence of other information, LIMITED is considered synonymous with slight, minor, and light, SEVERE as synonymous with major, extensive, and heavy, and EXTREME as synonymous with catastrophic. Note: The descriptive terms relate approximately to current dollar values. rangeElement: Record: 0 = NONE rangeElement: Record: 1 = LIMITED (roughly corresponding to less than $1 million) rangeElement: Record: 2 = MODERATE (~$1 to $5 million) rangeElement: Record: 3 = SEVERE (~>$5 to $24 million) rangeElement: Record: 4 = EXTREME (~$25 million or more) rangeElementDescription: (MI_RangeElementDescription) name: Description of Number of Houses Destroyed by the Eruption definition: For those events not offering an exact number of houses destroyed, the following four-level scale was used to classify the destruction and was listed in the Houses Destroyed De column.
