The data set comes from spatial coverage of volcanic activity for
the period 79 A.D. – 2000 A.D. The data set was developed by UNEPGRID Geneva based on the Worldwide Volcano Database available at
the National Geophysical Data Center. Volcanoes are very spatially
concentrated, affecting only 400,000 square kilometers and 93 million people.
