Article Synopsis
- Effective risk management of volcanic hazards relies on accurate population exposure assessments, traditionally using circular footprints around volcanoes to simplify hazard extent estimation.
- Comparative analysis of radius-based exposure estimates (10, 30, and 100 km) with modeled hazard footprints for 40 volcanoes in Indonesia and the Philippines reveals that smaller radii often overestimate hazards, especially for certain volcanic activities.
- The study establishes a benchmark for understanding the limitations of using concentric radii in estimating volcanic hazards and populations at risk, highlighting the need for more nuanced approaches in risk assessment.
