Volcano apps written by volcanologist Dr Graeme Wheller help monitor volcano unrest. They are distributed via his geological consultancy Volcanex International Pty Ltd.

The apps aim to improve awareness of potential volcanic hazards and risk so that affected populations can make more informed decisions in case of an eruption.

Current apps feature the Italian volcanoes Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei. These are large, historically active volcanoes which present a significant hazard to the three million people who live nearby.
