VDAP Partners
VDAP works with observatories around the world to reduce fatalities and economic losses in countries with significant volcanic risks. At the request of host countries and working through USAID, an experienced team of USGS and other scientists can rapidly respond to developing volcanic crises with a portable cache of monitoring equipment. Between crises, VDAP conducts capacity building and training programs aimed at improving volcano monitoring and reducing volcanic risk. Below is a list of the partners with whom VDAP has worked.
