Volcanoes of Melanesia and Australia

Data Sources

The following references are the sources used for data regarding volcanoes in this region. References are linked directly to our volcano data file. Discussion of another volcano or eruption (sometimes far from the one that is the subject of the manuscript) may produce a citation that is not at all apparent from the title. Additional discussion of data sources can be found under Volcano Data Criteria.
