[[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 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.]]
