Abstract

The Geological Survey of Japan, AIST, has implemented the new project "Development of High-Precision Digital Geological Information for Hazard Prevention and Mitigation" in 2022, Volcanic Craters DB, High-resolution Active Faults, Slope Disaster Risk Assessment, Digital Marine Geology, and Geological Digital Transformation (DX) of various geological information are project components. The Geological Hazards Information Database is included in the Geological DX project. Volcanic Hazards Information System, part of the Geological Hazards Information Database, aims to provide a user-friendly, WebGIS-base, open-access information tool for potential and risk mitigation involving the Quaternary volcanoes in the world. This system is useful for evaluating volcanic hazards affected area assessment, estimating future eruption styles and eruption scenarios, and making evacuation plans for various stakeholders.
