What is the probability of Explosive Eruption at a Long-Dormant Volcano?
No full textOne of the most difficult problems we face in assessing volcanic hazards is that of
evaluating the potential activity of volcanoes with little or no record of Holocene eruptions.
Is there some minimum period of inactivity after which we can safely rule out
a future eruption of large magnitude? Or, failing that, can we say how likely it is that
such a volcano will return to activity within a particular span of time? Violent explosive
eruptions are uncommon during the youthful stage of active growth. They are
confined almost entirely to large mature volcanoes. Here, we use the global record
of volcanic activity (Simkin and Siebert, 1994) to evaluate the duration of repose intervals
preceding such explosive volcanic eruptions. This analysis indicates that the
hazard rate for explosive eruptions is not constant with time, but depends on the time
since last eruption and that explosive eruptions may occur at volcanoes that have been
quiescent for 10,000 yr or more.
The techniques we employ are common to a class of problems in survival analysis
(Cox and Oakes, 1984;Woo, 1999), and can be applied to a variety of hazard problems
on volcanoes (e.g., Hill et al., 1998; Connor et al., 2003, Calder et al., 2005). One of
the major lessons of this type of analysis is that applied statistical methods can teach
us much about the time scales of volcanic activity, and about the underlying physical
mechanisms governing these rates

A desirable future for technology risk management
No full textThis paper outlines a scenario for the future of Technology Risk Management which the author suggests is internally consistent, linked to current practice, achievable, and desirable. It is a personal view which reflects the concerns and goals of the author. It is offered as a basis for discussion with others of the goals we might seek jointly to facilitate effective progress
