Metropolitan Tokyo Ashfall
Urban recovery under widespread ashfall.
Partners
We co-develop impact modelling, shared readiness measures, and a trusted trans-Pacific network to prepare for low-frequency, high-consequence eruptions affecting Japan and Aotearoa New Zealand.
Build a shared understanding of ashfall risk mitigation across Japan and Aotearoa, recognising distinct contexts. We advance preparedness by building strong cross-national networks and develop case-study impact scenarios for response and recovery planning in both countries.
Scenario Impact Modelling
Evaluate and test mitigation and policy interventions.
Applied Case Studies
Testing and refining our methods through real and hypothetical eruptions.
Network & Exchange
Connecting agencies, researchers, and communities across Japan and Aotearoa.
Open Science
Open by default: designed for transparency, reuse, and shared learning.
Jointly curated scenarios spanning urban centres, critical corridors, and lifelines important to both nations.
Urban recovery under widespread ashfall.
Interplay of new vent hazards with critical infrastructure.
Implications for nationally significant infrastructure, primary industry, and supply chains.
Researchers, practitioners, iwi and local communities, emergency managers, ministries, and infrastructure operators.
