Volcanic Risk
This layer shows density of volcanic eruptions based on the explosivity index for each eruption and the time period of the eruption. Eruption information is spread to 100km beyond point source to indicate areas that could be affected by volcanic emissions or ground shaking.

Volcanoes (active and non-active)
This layer shows the locations of volcanoes in the world. The data is a collection of information by Smithsonian Institution volcanologists summarizing 1,511 volcanoes active in the last 10,000 years.

Wind Speed Gusts Europe
European winterstorm hazard (October-March), maximum recorded gust speed since 1946. The estimation of the local maximum gust speed is based on a catalogue of all major European windstorm events between 1946 and 1999.
