Volcanoes of the World: Large Holocene Eruptions from the Global Volcanism Program, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution

The following information was abstracted from the Global Volcanism Program, Volcanoes of the World: Large Holocene Eruptions at: "volcano.si.edu/world/largeeruptions.cfm" This file contains a list that includes known large-volume Holocene explosive eruptions with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 4 or larger. Note the dating method codes before the dates (explained using a cursor rollover), and pay particular attention to the distinction between corrected (G) and uncorrected (C) radiocarbon dates.

Also be aware of the uncertainties of the dates themselves (including those with a "?" indicating an unknown, but potentially large date uncertainty). "P" and "C" VEI codes refer to plinian or caldera-forming eruptions, respectively, of large, but unknown magnitudes.
