Collapse Caldera Database update 2012
From: Adelina Geyer Traver <ageyertraver@xxxxxxxxx>
**************************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
We are glad to inform you that the CCDB group is preparing an updated
version of the Collapse Caldera Database (CCDB) to be released beginning of
summer 2012.
The rationale behind constructing the Collapse Caldera Database in 2007 was
to create a comprehensive catalogue including all known or identified
collapse calderas. The availability of accurate and comprehensive statistics
is vital to understand these volcanic structures . Thus, this extensive data
compilation should be an accessible and useful tool for studying and
understanding caldera collapse processes . The final aim of the CCDB is to
update the current field based knowledge on calderas, by merging together
the abovementioned databases and complementing them with the existing
peer-reviewed articles on calderas. This database does not include all the
calderas of the world but tries to be representative and will remain open
for further updates.
If you are aware of any publication (published 2009 onwards) concerning
collapse calderas that may contain information of interests for the CCDB,
please, send the reference or a pdf offprint of the paper to the following
address: ageyertraver@xxxxxxxxx Any contribution will
help to improve the database.
If you wish, you also can visit the CCDB web site at :

Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
The CCDB team
