Line 1: [[File:Rinjani 1994.jpg\|thumb\|1995 eruption of [[Mount Rinjani]] in [[Indonesia]].]]The [[Smithsonian Institution]]'s '''Global Volcanism Program''' ('''GVP''') documents Earth's [[volcano]]es and their eruptive history over the past 10,000 years. The GVP reports on current eruptions from around the world as well as maintaining a database repository on active volcanoes ~~and~~this suckand their eruptions. In this way, a global context for the planet's active [[volcanism]] is presented. Smithsonian reporting on current volcanic activity dates back to 1968, with the [[Center for Short-Lived Phenomena]] (CSLP). The GVP is housed in the Department of Mineral Sciences, part of the [[National Museum of Natural History]], on the [[National Mall]] in [[Washington, D.C.]] During the early stages of an eruption, the GVP acts as a clearinghouse of reports, data, and imagery which are accumulated from a global network of contributors. The early flow of information is managed such that the right people are contacted as well as helping to sort out vague and contradictory aspects that typically arise during the early days of an eruption.
