Research by Smithsonian volcanologists and their colleagues, and information reports gathered by the Global Volcanism Network, have resulted in many publications and products over the years. These items are shown below with a short description. All correspondence regarding the availability of these publications should be directed to the publishers as noted on the individual pages. Comments about the content may be directed to the authors.

This Dynamic Planet: World Map of Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Impact Craters and Plate Tectonics The map is designed to show Earth's most prominent features when viewed from a distance, and more detailed features upon closer inspection. The back of the map zooms in further, highlighting examples of fundamental processes, while providing text, timelines, references, and other resources to enhance understanding of this dynamic planet. |

The extraordinary moment of Parícutin's birth was first witnessed by a group of Tarascan Indian farmers. Their testimony leads off the comprehensive collection of reports that also includes photographs, sequential maps, cone profiles during the eruption, effects on the local population, and biological consequences. |

The years 1975-85 brought dramatic examples of volcanism, from the 1980 blasts of Mount St. Helens, through the continuing lava rivers of Hawaii, to the tragic eruption of Colombia's Nevado del Ruiz in 1985. However, the decade also brought less spectacular volcano stories. This book reports the decade's full spectrum of volcanism and provides a context into which events of the future can be placed for comparison or measurement. |

Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network The Bulletin is a monthly publication that contains reports of activity at volcanoes around the world. Information in these reports comes from a worldwide network of correspondents. Because of the emphasis on swift reporting, the Bulletin is normally restricted to field observations and measurements. Most of the analytical, theoretical, and interpretive aspects of these eruptions are normally absent from the Bulletin. The reader is referred to scientific journals for more detailed coverage. |

Krakatau 1883: The Volcanic Eruption and Its Effects During a 23-hour period on 26 and 27 August 1883, volcanic debris thundered upward from Krakatau volcano in history's most famous eruption. Over 36,000 people were killed, largely by waves cresting to heights over 100 feet, and the atmospheric effects were global.** OUT OF PRINT ** |
