Historical and notable volcanic eruptions: 1883 Eruption of Krakatoa, 1980 Eruption of Mount St. Helens, 1991 Eruption of Mount Pinatubo, 1257 Samalas Eruption and Yellowstone Caldera among them, plus the eruption-caused Armero Tragedy. Belongs here: a discrete eruption event or a standing volcanic system, carrying a live in-discipline link to Volcanology as its primary process even where a secondary climatic effect, such as global cooling, is also attached. Does not belong here: an earthquake or its tsunami, held under Seismology, even where a submarine landslide or similar secondary event is involved.
