Sobre IBD

Most volcanic hazards only affect areas within a few kilometers of a volcano. Volcanic ash, however, can affect regions thousands of kilometers from its source. This means that the whole of the DRC could be affected by ash from distant volcanic eruptions, notably the eruptions of the Virunga chain. Unlike the fine ash produced by burning wood, volcanic ash is hard, abrasive, slightly corrosive, electrically charged and does not dissolve in water.Volcanic ash poses a serious threat to aircraft, as it can abrade their surfaces, it can contaminate openings and it can be sucked up and melted by jet engines, causing severe damage. On or near the ground, volcanic ash can reduce visibility, make surfaces slippery, cause roofs to collapse, damage crops and wild plants, clog ventilation systems, corrode metal, contaminate water supplies, irritate or damage eyes, and pose a risk to people with respiratory problems. What can you do about it?

    While the great scientists of the past recognized a need for a multidisciplinary approach, today’s schools often treat math and science as subjects separate from the rest. This not only creates a disinterest among students, but also a potential learning gap once students reach college and then graduate into the workforce.

  • Aufklärung der Bevölkerung über die Schädlichkeit von Vulkanasche

    Die meisten vulkanischen Risiken wirken sich nur auf Regionen aus, die nur wenige Kilometer von einem Vulkan entfernt sind. Vulkanasche kann jedoch Regionen beeinflussen, die Tausende Kilometer von ihrer Quelle entfernt sind. Das bedeutet, dass die gesamte Demokratische Republik Kongo von der Asche weit entfernter Vulkanausbrüche betroffen sein könnte, insbesondere von Ausbrüch...

    La maggior parte dei rischi vulcanici interessa solo aree nel raggio di pochi chilometri dal vulcano. La cenere vulcanica, invece, può interessare regioni distanti migliaia di chilometri dalla sua sorgente. Ciò significa che l’intera RDC potrebbe essere colpita dalle ceneri di eruzioni vulcaniche lontane, in particolare quelle della catena dei Virunga. A differenza della cenere...
