Common interests and long term friendships connect people, and there are often business cross over relationships as well involved. In particular, the world of volcanology is small. We would like to present and support some of our partners:
VHDL - Volcanic Hazards Documentation and Logistic Research
VHDL is an organisation, which takes it's part for clarification and the transmission of datas about volcanic hazards and risks. Concerning this, VHDL has set up different projects. VHDL is non commercial, neither a scientific institution. The terrible Tsunami on Dez. 2004 has shown, that desaster warnings can save lives. VHDL projects are an attempet to this subject (warning at volcanoes) to be worth to invest in. Please help!

International Volcano Monitoring Fund
Millions of people live near active and potentially active volcanoes. Many of these volcanoes erupt each year, but the vast majority of them have inadequate systems in place to monitor volcanic activity levels and provide warning of impending eruptions.
The primary purpose of the International Volcano Monitoring Fund is to enhance public safety by providing volcano monitoring instrumentation to responsible scientists, technicians, and engineers in the developing world so that they may monitor their volcanoes.
A second goal of the International Volcano Monitoring Fund is to educate the public in volcanically-threatened communities about the value of volcano monitoring and how to be prepared in the event of an eruption. [Learn more - visit the IVMF Website]
The Bulletin of World Volcanism was created in June 2012 by Lucas Wilson. The Bulletin is designed to give a review of the month's volcanic activity. It also includes competitions, interviews, and references.
