More than 8% of the global population are exposed to volcanic hazards (Freire et al. 2019). These hazards come not justfrom traditional eruptions and degassing, but also from the introduction of toxic metal pollutants weathered from volcanicrock and washed into water resources and agriculture. In East Africa, rapid development is occurring alongside thesehazards, often with little regard for the ways in which society and hazard are interacting in these locations. Thisinterdisciplinary research proposes a method by which these duel hazards and their spatial distributions may bequantified, while also examining the narrative of the community living with (and adapting to) them. It will target a keyaffected area (potentially Awassa, Ethiopia) and deploy a range of social science and Earth science methods.

全球超过8%的人口面临火山灾害（Freire et al. 2019）。这些危害不仅来自传统的喷发和脱气，还来自从火山岩中风化并被冲入水资源和农业的有毒金属污染物的引入。在东非，快速发展与这些灾害同时发生，往往很少考虑这些地区的社会和灾害相互作用的方式。这项跨学科的研究提出了一种方法，通过这种方法可以量化这些决斗危险及其空间分布，同时也可以检查与它们一起生活（并适应）的社区的叙述。它将针对一个关键的受影响地区（可能是埃塞俄比亚的Awassa），并部署一系列社会科学和地球科学方法。
