Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Risk of catastrophic volcanic eruption : modelling the unimaginable

Notas: Sumario: Dr Christina Magill of Risk Frontiers, Macquarie University, looks at the potential catastrophe of a repeat volcanic eruption with the magnitude of the 1707 Hoei eruption from Mount Fuji. Because large eruptions have been infrequent, not enough attention has been paid to them and their potential devastating consequences. Figures: 1. Calculated average recurrence rates for volcanic eruprtions in the Asia-Pacific region. 2. Estimates of total, agricultural and urban land areas, and population affected if four significant historic eruptions were to occur today Registros relacionados: En: Asia insurance review. - Singapore : Ins Communications Pte Ltd., 2009- = ISSN 0218-2696. - 04/08/2014 Número 8 - agosto 2014 , p. 74-76Materia / lugar / evento: Catástrofes naturales Erupciones volcánicas Cálculo de probabilidades Impacto ambiental Víctimas humanas Análisis de riesgos Asia Pacífico Otras clasificaciones: 841.1
