Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.

If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia's sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

Bibliography

NOAA. "Tsunami Generation by Volcanoes." JetStream - Online School for Weather. Accessed March 1, 2024. https://www.noaa.gov/jetstream/tsunamis/tsunami-generation-volcanoes#:~:text=August%2027%2C%201883^[1]

Frequency and Occurrence: The NOAA content specifies that tsunamis generated by volcanoes, both above and below water, are infrequent. This adds valuable information regarding the rarity of volcanic tsunamis and helps readers understand the relative frequency of different tsunami sources.
Factors for Tsunami Generation: The NOAA content explains that specific conditions must be met for a volcano to generate a significant tsunami, such as the volcano's proximity to the coast or its depth below the sea surface. This information provides insight into the geological factors contributing to volcanic tsunami generation, which may not be explicitly addressed in the Wikipedia article.
Types of Volcanic Activity: The NOAA content lists several types of volcanic activity capable of generating destructive tsunamis, including pyroclastic flows, submarine explosions, caldera formation, landslides, and lateral blasts. This expands on the mechanisms discussed in the Wikipedia article, providing a more comprehensive understanding of how volcanic events can trigger tsunamis.
Historical Examples: The NOAA content includes historical examples of volcanic tsunamis, such as the Krakatau eruption in 1883 and the Unzen volcano eruption in 1792. These examples illustrate the devastating impacts of volcanic tsunamis throughout history and enhance the article's coverage of notable events.
Additional Resources: The NOAA content provides a link to the U.S. Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program for further information on volcanoes, offering readers an opportunity to explore related topics in more detail. This enhances the article by directing readers to authoritative sources for deeper insights into volcanic hazards and their associated tsunamis.

Kirianov, V.Yu. "Environmental Impacts of Volcanic Eruptions." In Natural and Human Induced Hazards – Vol. I, edited by V.Yu. Kirianov. Institute of Volcanic Geology and Geochemistry RAS, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia.^[2]

Detailed Analysis of Environmental Impacts: The Wikipedia article on volcanic eruptions may lack in-depth coverage of the specific environmental impacts caused by volcanic events. Kirianov's work likely provides detailed analyses of various environmental consequences such as changes in climate, glaciation patterns, effects on ecosystems, and impacts on air quality due to volcanic ash and stratospheric aerosols.
Scientific Perspectives and Research Findings: Kirianov's expertise in the field of volcanic geology and geochemistry could contribute scientific perspectives and research findings regarding the environmental impacts of volcanic eruptions. This could include insights into the mechanisms behind environmental changes triggered by volcanic activity and the long-term consequences on local and global ecosystems.
Regional Case Studies and Examples: The Wikipedia article may benefit from additional regional case studies and examples of environmental impacts resulting from volcanic eruptions. Kirianov's work, being affiliated with the Institute of Volcanic Geology and Geochemistry RAS in Russia, might offer insights into environmental impacts observed in volcanic regions such as the Kamchatka Peninsula and other parts of Russia.
Integration of Scholarly Research: Kirianov's contribution to "Natural and Human Induced Hazards – Vol. I" likely integrates scholarly research and perspectives from various experts in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of environmental impacts associated with volcanic eruptions. This source could help improve the Wikipedia article's credibility and depth of information by incorporating insights from scholarly publications.
Policy Implications and Mitigation Strategies: The Wikipedia article might lack discussion on policy implications and mitigation strategies related to mitigating the environmental impacts of volcanic eruptions. Kirianov's work could potentially address this gap by discussing strategies for monitoring volcanic activity, early warning systems for volcanic hazards, and measures to mitigate environmental damage caused by eruptions.

Paris, Raphaël. "Source Mechanisms of Volcanic Tsunamis." Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, published on October 28, 2015.^[3]

Mechanisms of Tsunami Generation: The Wikipedia article may lack detailed explanations of the specific mechanisms by which volcanic activity generates tsunamis. Paris's article likely provides a comprehensive overview of the various processes involved, such as submarine explosions, pyroclastic flows, caldera collapses, and landslides, which could enrich the understanding of readers.
Scientific Research and Findings: Paris's work is published in a prestigious scientific journal, indicating that it is based on rigorous research and analysis. Integrating findings from this scholarly source into the Wikipedia article could enhance its credibility and provide readers with up-to-date scientific perspectives on the topic.
Case Studies and Examples: The article may benefit from additional case studies and examples of volcanic tsunamis discussed in Paris's work. These case studies could illustrate different scenarios of volcanic activity leading to tsunami generation, including historical events and recent research findings.
Analysis of Source Mechanisms: Paris's article likely includes detailed analyses of the physical processes and factors contributing to the generation of volcanic tsunamis. This could include discussions on the size and shape of volcanic eruptions, the influence of submarine topography, and the dynamics of water displacement, which could deepen readers' understanding of the topic.
Implications for Hazard Mitigation: Understanding the source mechanisms of volcanic tsunamis is crucial for developing effective hazard mitigation strategies. Paris's article may discuss the implications of its findings for tsunami early warning systems, risk assessment, and disaster preparedness, which could inform the Wikipedia article's section on mitigation measures.
