Abstract

Our understanding of volcanoes and volcanic systems has been communicated through legends maintained by indigenous communities and books and journal articles for the scientific community and for the public. Today we have additional means to communicate knowledge and information, such as social media, films, videos and websites. To build on these mechanisms, we propose a comprehensive system of information collection and dissemination which will impact and benefit scientists, officials and politicians, students and the public at large. This system comprises (1) an information web for broad understanding of volcano systems and volcanology, and (2) a second web for individual volcanoes. This integrated geoheritage approach provides a template for information dissemination and exchange in the twenty-first century.
