eruptions and unrest: Descriptions and references for eruptions and volcanic unrest in Alaska, 2.6 million years through the present. geochemical database: Alaska Volcano Observatory geochemical database. historically active volcanoes: Historically active volcanoes of Alaska. image database: Alaska Volcano Observatory image database. in situ point data: In situ glass and mineral analyses. This module is in development. petrography: Petrographic observations including descriptions, minerals, images, textures, and modes. This module is in development. references: Bibliography of all references containing information on Quaternary volcanoes in Alaska or volcanic products sourced from young Alaska eruptions. All information in GeoDIVA is linked to at least one reference. station and sample metadata: Metadata for geologic stations and samples of Quaternary and younger volcanic products in or sourced from Alaska, including where the sample is physically stored and its analyses, images, and references. This module is designed to include metadata specific for gas and water samples as well as traditional geologic samples, and will also include IGSN numbers for all stations and samples with stored physical material. stratigraphy: Stratigraphic observations including descriptions, images, and lithologic interval measurements. This module is in development. tephra metadata: Metadata for tephra samples, including tephra name, age, and physical characteristics. volcano metadata: Basic metadata for all Quaternary and younger volcanoes in Alaska.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory is a joint program of the U.S. Geological Survey, the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys. The data compilation and database development is based upon work by Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys staff and supported by the U.S. Geological Survey under Grant No. G22AC00137. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Geological Survey.

In May 2002, the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) formally began creating a database system for information on Pleistocene and younger (last 2.6 million years) volcanoes in Alaska. This database, called GeoDIVA (Geologic Database of Information on Volcanoes in Alaska), assists AVO with crisis response, volcano investigations, and scientific studies. In addition, it informs the general public about Alaska's volcanism and volcanic products. This database is also the back-end to AVO's public website (http://www.avo.alaska.edu) and is a timely and authoritative source for information on Alaska volcanoes.
