University of O’Higgins volcanic hazard research

Overview

The University of O’Higgins is partnering with Chile’s National Geology and Mining Service (Sernageomin) to develop volcanic hazard mapping for central Chile. This collaborative research involves academics and professionals from the National Volcanic Surveillance Network.

The project addresses a lack of comprehensive mapping in the region, specifically concerning volcanoes such as Tinguiririca and El Palomo. While these volcanoes currently show low to moderate eruptive danger, experts note that a lack of existing studies could lead to an underestimation of potential impacts during future reactivations. The initiative aims to provide data for accurate hazard assessment and risk management in a zone that has historically experienced significant eruptions.
