Global Volcano Mortality Risks and Distribution

Global Volcano Mortality Risks and Distribution is a 2.5 minute grid representing global volcano mortality risks. The data set was constructed using historical hazard-specific mortality loss data from the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) maintained by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), subnational year 2000 population estimates from Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3), and volcano hazard data from the Global Volcano Hazard Frequency and Distribution data set. Estimates were made as to the mortality numbers associated with volcano hazard. In turn, these mortality estimates were classified into deciles, 10 class of an approximately equal number of grid cells of increasing mortality risk. This data set is the result of collaboration among the Columbia University Center for Hazards and Risk Research (CHRR), International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/The World Bank, and Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

全球火山死亡率风险与分布数据集以2.5分钟格网的形式展现全球火山死亡率风险。本数据集的构建基于灾难紧急事件数据库（EM-DAT）中由灾害研究中心（CRED）维护的历史特定灾害死亡率损失数据，以及来自世界人口网格化版本3（GPWv3）的子国家2000年人口估算数据，以及全球火山灾害频率与分布数据集中的火山灾害数据。对与火山灾害相关的死亡率进行了估算。进而，这些死亡率估算被划分为十等分，即风险死亡率不断增加的网格单元的10个类别。该数据集是哥伦比亚大学灾害与风险研究中心（CHRR）、国际复兴开发银行/世界银行以及哥伦比亚大学国际地球科学信息网络中心（CIESIN）之间的合作成果。
