<descript>
<abstract>This data lists the historically active volcanoes of Alaska and the year of the last major eruptive event. The volcanoes listed meet at least one of the following criteria since 1700 CE: 1) Documented, unquestioned eruption OR 2) A strongly suspected eruption, often an eruption documented in a historical account with very little information. Current geologic knowledge must not contradict the eruption account, OR 3) Persistent (usually on the order of decades, but certainly longer than several months) fumaroles, with temperatures (where measured) within approximately 10 degrees C of the boiling point, OR 4) Significant, measured, volcanic-related, non-eruptive deformation, OR 5) Documented earthquake swarm with strongly suspected volcanic cause. All files can be downloaded free of charge from the DGGS website http://doi.org/10.14509/3042.</abstract>
<purpose>The purpose of this dataset is to document the location and most recent eruptive events of the historically active volcanoes throughout Alaska.</purpose>
<supplinf>
The DGGS metadata standard extends the FGDC standard to include elements that are required to facilitate our internal data management. These elements, referred to as "layers," group and describe files that have intrinsic logical or topological relationships and correspond to subdirectories within the data distribution package. The metadata layer provides the metadata, project border files, or other documentation files. Attribute information for each data layer is described in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section. Data layer contents: 
&gt;volcano-locations: point data that provides the location and the year (when known) of the last major eruptive event for each volcano

<attraccr>The volcano names, date of last eruptive event, and location information in this dataset comes from the AVO website, www.avo.alaska.edu, accessed in January 2020. The volcano information on the AVO website is contained within a database and was compiled almost exclusively by Cheryl Cameron, and reviewed by staff of the Alaska Volcano Observatory. This database contains information on all published reports about Quaternary and younger Alaskan volcanism. The volcano names, locations, and eruptive history information found in the database is compiled by studying all locatable published documents. All of the locations were entered into the database, plotted in a GIS, and visually checked for accuracy. Where all published locations were inaccurate, new locations were generated by plotting a point within the GIS using a USGS digital topographic map.</attraccr>

AVO website and database is extensively reviewed by Alaska Volcano Observatory staff and work to implement updates and corrections is ongoing. Although the database contains information on all volcanic features in Alaska with activity within the last two million years, the list given in this publication is for "historically active" volcanoes. To be considered "historically active" the volcanoes listed meet at least one of the following criteria since 1700 CE: The volcanoes listed meet at least one of the following criteria since 1700 CE: 1) Documented, unquestioned eruption OR 2) A strongly suspected eruption, often an eruption documented in a historical account with very little information.
