Description:
Volcanic hazard assessment is a basic ingredient for
risk-based decision-making in land-use planning
and emergency management. Volcanic hazard is
defined as the probability of any particular area
being affected by a destructive volcanic event
within a given period of time (Fournier d’Albe
1979). The probabilistic nature of such an important
issue derives from the fact that volcanic activity is a
complex process, characterized by several and
usually unknown degrees of freedom that are
often linked by nonlinear relationships (e.g. Bak
et al. 1988). Except in sporadic cases, the result
of this complexity is an intrinsic, and perhaps
unavoidable, unpredictability of the time evolution
of the volcanic system from a deterministic point
of view.
