Volcanoes are one of the most dramatic phenomena in nature, attracting millions of visitors each year to US national parks and fascinating millions of children in school science courses. VolcanoWorld greatly enriches learning by delivering high-quality remote sensing images, information, and interactive experiments, which add depth, variety, and currency to existing volcano information sources.

VolcanoWorld brings modern and near real-time volcano information to school kids and other users of the Internet. VolcanoWorld draws extensively on remote sensing images (AVHRR, Landsat TM, Magellan, space shuttle, etc.) and other data collections. We add value to these data by relating each image to geologic processes, and by encouraging users to ask professional volcanologists questions.
