Bulletin of Volcanology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on volcanology and related studies of geology, petrology, geochemistry, seismology, and geophysics. Established in the early 20th century, the journal publishes original research, review articles, and rapid communications addressing eruptive processes at locations such as Mount St. Helens, Krakatoa, Mount Etna, Mauna Loa, and Mount Vesuvius. It serves as a forum for researchers affiliated with institutions including California Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, and University of Tokyo.
The journal traces its roots to interwar European efforts involving figures connected to Observatoire Volcanologique de la Martinique, Smithsonian Institution, Royal Society, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and the United States Geological Survey. Early contributors included researchers from Imperial College London, University of Oxford, Geological Survey of Japan, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Service National d'Observation. Through mid-20th century developments tied to eruptions at Mount Pelée, Mount St. Helens (1980 eruption), Novarupta, Mount Unzen, and Mount Pinatubo, the journal expanded collaborations with organizations like National Aeronautics and Space Administration, European Space Agency, Japan Meteorological Agency, Instituto Geofísico del Perú, and Instituto Geofísico del Ecuador. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, editors and authors from University of California, Berkeley, Brown University, University of Hawaii, University of Washington, Pruitt Research Center, University of Iceland, University of Naples Federico II, University of Chile, University of Papua New Guinea and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México advanced topics in eruption forecasting and hazard mitigation.
The journal emphasizes observational case studies from volcanic systems such as Eyjafjallajökull, Sakurajima, Eyjafjöll, Colima Volcano, Mount Merapi, Santorini, Mount Erebus, Sakurajima Volcano, and Soufrière Hills, alongside experimental petrology from laboratories at Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, University of Cambridge Department of Earth Sciences, and ETH Zurich. Topics intersect with work by researchers at Cornell University, University of Toronto, Imperial College London Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Australian National University, Purdue University, University of Manchester, University of Bristol, and University of Leeds. Methodological advances reported include remote sensing from Landsat, Sentinel-2, MODIS, Terra (satellite), and Envisat, geodetic measurements from GPS, InSAR, and GRACE, as well as petrological techniques developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The editorial board comprises scholars affiliated with University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, Utrecht University, University of Geneva, Seoul National University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Monash University, University of Melbourne, and University of Auckland. Peer review follows standards common to journals published by Springer Science+Business Media, with external referees drawn from networks including American Geophysical Union, European Geosciences Union, Royal Society of London, Geological Society of America, International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior, and World Organisation of Volcano Observatories. Editorial policies align with practices at Nature Geoscience, Science Advances, Geology (journal), Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, and Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
Published monthly by Springer Science+Business Media with production infrastructure connected to Springer Nature, the journal offers subscription and hybrid open access models similar to PLOS ONE and Frontiers Media. Articles become accessible through platforms used by JSTOR, Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate), GeoScienceWorld, and institutional repositories at Harvard University, Columbia University, Stanford University, Yale University, and Princeton University. The journal supports data archiving practices compatible with Dryad, PANGAEA, Zenodo, and IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology).
The journal is indexed in major services including Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, GeoRef, AGU Publications Index, INSPEC, and Chemical Abstracts Service. Abstracting entries appear in databases maintained by Clarivate Analytics, Elsevier, ProQuest, EBSCO, and OCLC. Institutional access is often mediated through consortia such as CERN Document Server Consortium, Research Libraries UK, HathiTrust, and national libraries like Bibliothèque nationale de France, British Library, Library of Congress, and Deutsche Nationalbibliothek.
The journal has influenced hazard assessment and policy advising conducted by agencies including Federal Emergency Management Agency, United States Geological Survey Volcano Hazards Program, Civil Protection Department of Italy, Japan Meteorological Agency Volcanic Activity Center, Geological Survey of Canada, and Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP). Its articles are cited in reports by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, European Commission Joint Research Centre, and World Bank assessments. Comparative evaluations place it alongside Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Geophysical Research Letters, and Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America in influence on volcanic risk science.
The journal published influential case studies and methodological papers on eruptions such as Mount St. Helens (1980 eruption), Mount Pinatubo (1991 eruption), Eyjafjallajökull eruption (2010), and Soufrière Hills eruption (1995–1999), and on processes described in works by researchers at University of Cambridge Department of Earth Sciences, California Institute of Technology Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, and University of Palermo. It has featured interdisciplinary collaborations with teams from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, European Southern Observatory, Argonne National Laboratory, and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, contributing to volcanic plume dynamics, magma rheology, eruption forecasting algorithms, and hazard mapping used by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, International Civil Aviation Organization, and World Meteorological Organization.
