I want to write my epq on the possible mitigation and management strategies of a volcano that is predicted to erupt in the near future. However, I don't know which volcano to write about, there are so many! I want to focus my title on one that has shown some signs of activity and that has a nearby population.
Any ideas or advice on what volcano I should write about??

Before I did my EPQ, one of the ideas I had was to compare two volcanic eruptions of similar explosivity (e.g. Eyjafjallajokull in 2010 and Mount St Helens in 1980), in terms of their geographical setting, monitoring & prediction and effects of the eruption. Alternatively you could give it a more geographical focus by comparing an eruption in an LEDC against an MEDC, or a geological one by comparing the prediction and effects of volcanoes with different eruptive styles. I'm not sure if writing about just one volcano would give you enough scope for a 4000-5000 word essay, but I'd imagine more well-known volcanoes are likely to have the most information

Even after that, do you think I have enough to write about?
I wanted to write about a future volcanic eruption, not a past one, because then I can say that my essay may be useful later on, I don't want to describe something thats already happened.

In order to give me more to write about, I was planning to structure it by taking a possible management/mitigation strategy e.g planning evacuation zones, then using case studies of previous volcanic eruptions to justify why we should use the strat/if we shouldn't use it, how well it worked before ect.
