About this dataset

Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program database of Holocene volcanoes with location, type, eruption history, and hazard data.

The Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program (GVP) maintains a comprehensive database of Holocene volcanoes (~1,500 entries) with location coordinates, volcano type, elevation, last eruption date, eruption history, and hazard metadata. It is the standard global reference for volcano monitoring and hazard assessment.

FAQ

How many volcanoes are in the GVP database?

The GVP includes approximately 1,500 Holocene volcanoes (active in the last ~11,700 years), with details on eruptions, volcano types, and tectonic settings.

Does the database include eruption history?

Yes. The GVP includes eruption start and end dates, eruption types (explosive, effusive), Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI), and associated hazards for each volcano.
