Volcanic Maps

Fundamental Science Practices

USGS provides unbiased, objective, and impartial scientific information upon which our audiences, including resource managers, planners, and other entities, rely.

The USGS Volcano Hazards Program enhances public safety and minimize social and economic disruption from volcanic unrest and eruption. We accomplish this by delivering effective forecasts, warnings, and information about volcano hazards based on scientific understanding of volcanic processes. Learn more by exploring USGS volcanic maps.
