This project will develop novel dating methods necessary for precise reconstruction of the eruption histories of super-volcanoes in the Asia-Pacific region over the last million years. The project outcomes will provide better models for predicting super-eruptions, thereby informing global climate change research, urban planning, and transport and telecommunications infrastructure engineering. Results will also improve existing volcanic risk models used by insurers to quantify volcanic risks and calculate expected losses from volcanic eruptions, and greatly improve our ability to use eruption deposits as time markers for important events in human evolution.

该项目将开发新的测年方法，以精确重建亚太地区过去一百万年来超级火山的喷发历史。项目成果将为预测超级喷发提供更好的模型，从而为全球气候变化研究、城市规划以及交通和电信基础设施工程提供信息。结果还将改进保险公司用来量化火山风险和计算火山喷发预期损失的现有火山风险模型，并极大地提高我们使用喷发沉积物作为人类进化中重要事件的时间标志的能力。
