Jan Marie Lindsay (born 1970) is a New Zealand geologist and Professor of Volcanology at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
Jan Lindsay was born in 1970 in Rotorua, New Zealand. She attended Westbrook Primary School and Sunset Intermediate. She moved to Apia in Western Samoa when she was 11 and lived there for 2 years, attending Leififi Intermediate School and then Samoa College. After returning to New Zealand, she lived with her family in Glenfield, Auckland and attended Glenfield College. She developed a love for travel at an early age – spending several months in Adelaide Australia at age 15 as a Rotary exchange student, and 1 year in Hildesheim, West Germany in 1988/1989 as an AFS exchange student.
She attended the University of Auckland where she was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology in 1993 and a Master of Science in Geology in 1995. She was awarded a Dr. rer. nat. in Geowissenschaften (doctorate in geoscience) from the Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen in 2000, for research on La Pacana caldera, a late Miocene age supervolcano in Chile. During her PhD studies she was based at the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) in Potsdam, Germany.
Between 1995 and 1996 Lindsay worked as a research assistant at the Wairakei Research Centre of GNS Science in Taupō (1995–1996), this was during the time of the Ruapehu 1995/1996 eruption. After her PhD studies at the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) in Potsdam, Germany (1996–1999) she moved to the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Unit (now Centre) in Trinidad where she was a Research Fellow from 2000–2003. Since 2006 she has worked in the Faculty of Science at the University of Auckland, where she was promoted to Professor in 2020, becoming New Zealand’s first woman Professor in Volcanology.
She has served as Vice President of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI) (2019–2023) and has co-led the IAVCEI Working Group on Volcanic Hazard Mapping since 2014. She has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Volcanology (2018–2022) and as President of the Geoscience Society of New Zealand (2010–2011). She is also a member of the New Zealand Volcano Science Advisory Panel (2012 – present). She has held leadership roles within Auckland University, including as Associate Dean of Science (Research) between 2018 and 2024.
Lindsay's research aims to enhance society's resilience to volcanic hazards by studying magmatic and volcanic processes. [1] She also works on developing and testing methods to improve communication between scientists and stakeholders, facilitating the efficient adoption of hazard and risk research. [2] She has worked on projects in the broad area of volcanic geology, hazard and risk in New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, the Lesser Antilles, Hawai’i and Saudi Arabia. [3] Her work on volcanic hazard assessment in the Caribbean led to publication of the Volcanic hazard atlas of the Lesser Antilles. She has co-led the long-lived transdisciplinary Determining Volcanic Risk in Auckland (DEVORA) project since 2008 [4] and co-leads the Urban Theme of the MBIE-funded Resilience to Nature’s Challenges National Science Challenge (2019–2024). She co-led the Volcanic Risk in Saudi Arabia (VORISA) project, funded by King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia between 2011 and 2013. Her work on volcanic hazard and risk assessment informs Volcanic Emergency Plans and outreach campaigns in New Zealand [5] [6] and other regions. [7]

A supervolcano is a volcano that has had an eruption with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 8, the largest recorded value on the index. This means the volume of deposits for such an eruption is greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers.
The Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ) is a volcanic area in the North Island of New Zealand. It has been active for at least the past two million years and is still highly active.
Mount Tarawera is a volcano on the North Island of New Zealand within the older but volcanically productive Ōkataina Caldera. Located 24 kilometres southeast of Rotorua, it consists of a series of rhyolitic lava domes that were fissured down the middle by an explosive basaltic eruption in 1886. While the 1886 eruption was basaltic, study has shown there was only a small basalt component to the previous recent rhyolitic predominant eruptions. This eruption was one of New Zealand's largest historical eruptions, and killed an estimated 120 people. The fissures run for about 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast–southwest.
The Auckland volcanic field is an area of monogenetic volcanoes covered by much of the metropolitan area of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, located in the North Island. The approximately 53 volcanoes in the field have produced a diverse array of maars, tuff rings, scoria cones, and lava flows. With the exception of Rangitoto, no volcano has erupted more than once, but the other eruptions lasted for various periods ranging from a few weeks to several years. Rangitoto erupted several times and recently twice; in an eruption that occurred about 600 years ago, followed by a second eruption approximately 50 years later. The field is fuelled entirely by basaltic magma, unlike the explosive subduction-driven volcanism in the central North Island, such as at Mount Ruapehu and Lake Taupō.
Mayor Island / Tūhua is a dormant shield volcano located off the Bay of Plenty coast of New Zealand's North Island. It lies 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of Tauranga and covers 13 km2 (5 sq mi).
Kambalny is a stratovolcano located in the southern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It is the southernmost active volcano of Kamchatka. It has erupted mafic rocks. It has a summit crater as well as five cinder cones on its flanks which are the source of lava flows.
The Reporoa Caldera is a 10 km by 15 km caldera in New Zealand's Taupō Volcanic Zone located in the Taupō-Reporoa Basin. It formed some 280,000 years ago, in a large eruption that deposited approximately 100 km3 of tephra, forming the Kaingaroa Ignimbrite layer. The ignimbrite sheet extends up to 15 km (9.3 mi) to the east.
La Pacana is a Miocene age caldera in northern Chile's Antofagasta Region. Part of the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, it is part of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex, a major caldera and silicic ignimbrite volcanic field. This volcanic field is located in remote regions at the Zapaleri tripoint between Chile, Bolivia and Argentina.
A flank eruption is a volcanic eruption which occurs on the flanks of a volcano, instead of at its summit. Such eruptions occur when the conduit connecting the summit to the magma chamber below is blocked, forcing the magma to move laterally.
The Altiplano–Puna volcanic complex, also known as APVC, is a complex of volcanic systems in the Puna of the Andes. It is located in the Altiplano area, a highland bounded by the Bolivian Cordillera Real in the east and by the main chain of the Andes, the Western Cordillera, in the west. It results from the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. Melts caused by subduction have generated the volcanoes of the Andean Volcanic Belt including the APVC. The volcanic province is located between 21° S–24° S latitude. The APVC spans the countries of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.
Cerro Guacha is a Miocene caldera in southwestern Bolivia's Sur Lípez Province. Part of the volcanic system of the Andes, it is considered to be part of the Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ), one of the three volcanic arcs of the Andes, and its associated Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex (APVC). A number of volcanic calderas occur within the latter.
A multi-component gas analyzer system (Multi-GAS) is an instrument package used to take real-time high-resolution measurements of volcanic gases. A Multi-GAS package includes an infrared spectrometer for CO2, two electrochemical sensors for SO2 and H2S, and pressure–temperature–humidity sensors, all in a weatherproof box. The system can be used for individual surveys or set up as permanent stations connected to radio transmitters for transmission of data from remote locations. The instrument package is portable, and its operation and data analysis are simple enough to be conducted by non-specialists.
The Haroharo Caldera is a 26 by 16 km postulated volcanic feature in Taupō Volcanic Zone of the North Island, New Zealand within the larger and older Ōkataina Caldera. Since 2010 further studies have tended to use the terms Haroharo vent alignment, Utu Caldera, Matahina Caldera, Rotoiti Caldera and a postulated Kawerau Caldera to the features assigned to it. However the name is used in the peer reviewed literature to summarise and group these features based on gravitational and magnetic features.
Ōkataina Caldera is a volcanic caldera and its associated volcanoes located in Taupō Volcanic Zone of New Zealand's North Island. It has several actual or postulated sub calderas. The Ōkataina Caldera is just east of the smaller separate Rotorua Caldera and southwest of the much smaller Rotomā Embayment which is usually regarded as an associated volcano. It shows high rates of explosive rhyolitic volcanism although its last eruption was basaltic. The postulated Haroharo Caldera contained within it has sometimes been described in almost interchangeable terms with the Ōkataina Caldera or volcanic complex or centre and by other authors as a separate complex defined by gravitational and magnetic features.. Since 2010 other terms such as the Haroharo vent alignment, Utu Caldera, Matahina Caldera, Rotoiti Caldera and a postulated Kawerau Caldera are often used, rather than a Haroharo Caldera classification.
The relatively small Rotomā Caldera is in the Taupō Volcanic Zone in the North Island of New Zealand.
Erouscilla "Pat" Joseph is a volcanologist, and Director of the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre, which oversees seismic and volcanic monitoring of the English-speaking Eastern Caribbean. She led the volcanological management of the 2021 La Soufriere eruptions on Saint Vincent, for which the Seismic Research Centre received global accolades.
Marta Lucía Calvache Velasco is a Colombian geologist and volcanologist, best known for her work on geological hazards and risk reduction in Colombia.
The Rotoiti Caldera is a postulated, mainly infilled sub caldera of the Ōkataina Caldera based upon gravitational and magnetic evidence. While bathymetry of Lake Rotoiti is consistent with volcanic vents being present, they could be in an area of collapse subsidence outside the north western margins of the Rotoiti Caldera itself.
