Integrating hazard, exposure, vulnerability and resilience for risk and emergency management in a volcanic context : the ADVISE model by Bonadonna, Costanza, Frischknecht, Corine, Menoni, Scira, Romerio, Franco, Gregg, Chris E., Rosi, Mauro, Biass, Sébastien, Asgary, Ali, Pistolesi, Marco, Guobadia, Dehrick, Gattuso, Alessandro, Ricciardi, Antonio, Cristiani, Chiara

“…The proposed approach has evolved over a decade of study on the volcanic island of Vulcano (Italy), where recent signs of unrest combined with uncontrolled urban development and significant seasonal variations of exposed population result in highly dynamic volcanic risk. …”

Habitat and ecological diversity influences the species-area relationship and the biogeography of the Sicilian archipelago’s isopods by R. Cazzolla Gatti, G. Messina, M. Ruggieri, V. Dalla Nora, B. M. Lombardo

“…We find a significantly higher richness of both species and habitats on non-volcanic islands. Finally, our analysis confutes the hypothesis that the number of isopod species on the archipelago’s islets declines with the distance from Sicily. …”

Rates of subsidence and relative sea level rise in the Hawaii Islands by Parker Albert

“…The major cause of the Hawaiian Islands coastal erosion is shown to be not global warming, but the sinking of the volcanic islands. The geologic “circle-of-life” beyond the Hawaiian hot spot is the true explanation of the beach erosion. …”

Lava caves of the Republic of Mauritius, Indian Ocean by Gregory J. Middleton

“…In their Underground Atlas, MIDDLETON & WALTHAM (1986) dismissed Mauritius as: “very old volcanic islands with no speleological interest”. Recent investigations indicate this judgement is inaccurate; there are over 50 significant caves, including lava tube caves up to 687 m long (one 665 m long was surveyed as early as 1769) and 35 m wide. …”

Getting Beyond the Toy Domain. Meditations on David Deamer’s “Assembling Life” by William Bains

“…It is unapologetically polemic, presenting Deamer’s view that life originated in fresh water hydrothermal fields on volcanic islands on early Earth, arguing that this provided a unique environment not just for organic chemistry but for the self-assembling structure that drive that chemistry and form the basis of structure in life. …”

Hotspot swells and the lifespan of volcanic ocean islands by Huppert, Kimberly L., Perron, J. Taylor, Royden, Leigh H., Royden, Leigh H

“…The mechanisms of island drowning remain enigmatic, however, and the subaerial lifespan of volcanic islands varies widely. We examine swell bathymetry and island drowning at 14 hotspots and find a correspondence between island lifespan and residence time atop swell bathymetry, implying that islands drown as tectonic plate motion transports them past mantle sources of swell uplift. …”

The Role of Lipid Membranes in Life’s Origin by David Deamer

“…Membrane assembly occurs most readily in low ionic strength solutions with minimal content of salt and divalent cations, which suggests that cellular life began in fresh water pools associated with volcanic islands rather than submarine hydrothermal vents.…”
