People have lived alongside volcanoes ever since the first early modern humans occupied Ethiopia’s great rift valley. Today, in the ‘instrumental era’ of volcanology, many of Earth’s restless volcanoes are monitored from ground and space, but their eruptions can still catch us unaware. In this talk, I will explore the ways that we are learning more about how volcanoes work, and their impacts on the communities who live around them, using both scientific observations and the first-hands accounts of people who have lived through volcanic crises in the past.
