Gvp is unique in its documentation of current and past activity for all volcanoes on the planet active during the last 10,000 years. during the early stages of an eruption anywhere in the world we act as a clearinghouse of reports, data, and imagery. reports are released in two formats.

Global Volcanism Program Theme Collections The gvp website presents more than 7,000 reports on volcanic activity, provides access to the baseline data and eruptive histories of holocene volcanoes, and makes available other resources to our international partners, scientists, civil authorities, and the public. Maintained by the smithsonian institution's museum of natural history, the global volcanism program "seeks better understanding of all volcanoes through documenting their eruptions small as well as large during the past 10,000 years." the extensive web site contains up to date and archived information about volcanic eruptions in the form of short reports from local observers. a large amount. In recent years, the database has been extended to include links to digital imagery, and physical samples that are archived in the smithsonian institution collections. the historic activity can guide perspectives on possible future events and on volcanoes showing activity. For more than three decades the smithsonian's global volcanism program (gvp) has compiled descriptions of both ongoing and past volcanism around the world in order to better understand the full range of earth's eruptive activity, building its database the volcano reference file (vrf).

Theme collections are galleries not specifically related to volcanic hazards, processes, research, types, or features. this includes subjects such as different satellite platforms, astronaut photos from the space shuttle, specific photographers, or other special collections. Complementing our effort toward reporting of current eruptive activity is our database of volcanoes and eruptions that documents the last 10,000 years of earth's volcanism. We are devoted to a better understanding of earth’s active volcanoes and their eruptions during the last 10,000 years. the mission of gvp is to document, understand, and disseminate information about global volcanic activity.
