Earthquakes and Volcanoes: Risk from Geophysical Hazards. Donovan, A. In Roeser, S., Hillerbrand, R., Sandin, P., & Peterson, M., editors, Handbook of Risk Theory: Epistemology, Decision Theory, Ethics, and Social Implications of Risk, pages 341–371.

Paper doi abstract bibtex The aims of this chapter are to present a brief history of ideas in the interdisciplinary study of volcanic and seismic risk, to discuss the current state of the subject, and to suggest pathways for further research. This is a very extensive topic – while much of the scientific literature tends to focus on hazard assessment (and, increasingly, risk assessment), the social sciences have tended to focus on vulnerability reduction and risk communication. There have been very few holistic epistemological studies of the broader context of risk. Yet the philosophical aspects of uncertainty are increasingly important for scientists in particular as they seek to assess and understand these risks, not least because of heated debates within both fields concerning the relative values of deterministic and probabilistic methods and the ways in which they deal with uncertainty. Social scientific and philosophical methods therefore have significant potential to inform this discussion, and are also increasingly important in assessing vulnerability and popular understanding of risks in hazardous areas. There has been a large volume of work done in recent years to examine seismic and volcanic risk perception and communication, much of which suggests that these risks are not high on the social agenda until an event happens. This calls for new approaches to population management, preparedness, and proactive roles for scientists and social scientists.
