Communication when it is needed most—the past, present and future of volcano geoheritage

A comprehensive system for volcano geoheritage communication is proposed, integrating indigenous knowledge with modern tools to enhance understanding and dissemination of volcanic systems. This dual-web approach—one for broad volcanology education and another for specific volcanoes—aims to bridge gaps between scientists, officials, the public, and students. By leveraging social media, films, videos, and websites, the system seeks to improve real-time information exchange and preparedness, offering a template for 21st-century geoheritage management. The study builds on historical legends and scientific literature to create an accessible, dynamic platform that benefits diverse stakeholders.
