"I actually look forward to that part; I think it's great you're going to see actual geologists commenting on the film."

I think the movie ended to optimistically.

Yeah, probably.

On a page related to the people doing the upcoming paper there's a very rough Excel database of large volcanic eruptions.

Actually it looks like VEI=8 is a bit of a too high standard for a lot of people regarding the supervolcano standard.....that's 1,000 cubic kilometers. Even Long Valley Caldera didn't meet that.

I'll probably come up with a list of all the ones over 100 cubic km in the last 2 million years and post it on one of the inevitable later threads. A great many of them are places you've never heard of.

There are a crapload in Italy and New Zealand, for example. Veniaminoff in Alaska hit 400 cu km 3,700 years ago (that was the one that was erupting a few weeks ago to little interest or care by FR). Atila in Mexico and Los Choyos in Guatemala had really big eruptions.
