Journal of Applied Volcanology welcomes submissions to the new thematic series for Development and application of volcanic fragility and vulnerability functions.
This thematic series focuses on volcanic fragility and vulnerability functions as used in quantitative risk assessments. Such functions link the severity of a hazard to consequences on people, the built environment, primary industries, the economy, and/or society. This is rapidly developing and growing area in applied volcanology and this thematic series aims to collate and showcase applications of these functions in volcanology.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Qualitative or quantitative fragility and vulnerability functions for one or multiple volcanic hazards
- Application of volcanic fragility and/or vulnerability functions to research questions
- Case studies of applications of volcanic fragility and/or vulnerability functions in practice
- Use of volcanic fragility and/or vulnerability functions as an educational or outreach tool
