Cities near volcanoes expose dense concentrations of people, buildings, and infrastructure to volcanic hazards. Identifying cities globally that are exposed to volcanic hazards helps guide local risk assessment for better land-use planning and hazard mitigation. Previous city exposure approaches have used the city centroid to represent an entire ci...

... margins are closer to volcanoes than the centroids (Fig. 10). Some cities have higher population 482 densities closer to volcanoes despite having greater areas of the city farther away (Table 4), suggesting 483 that cities can have higher population densities in the city peripheries away from the city centre.
