	These articles ~~presents~~ the results of a pilot study on volcanic hazard analysis in Tanzania with a case study on Mt Meru to investigate potential future research needed to improve our knowledge of past and present volcanic activity in Tanzania and the inherent risks. This work was conducted alongside the Geological Survey of Tanzania by the BGS Volcanology Team to investigate potential collaborative research projects for the future. Existing data is compiled on volcanoes, volcanic hazards and population statistics within Tanzania as well as in-country monitoring and hazard management methods to evaluate the relative risk posed by volcanic activity. Outputs from this work are being compiled as the volcano contribution to the Global Assessment Report for 2015 (GAR15) published by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) alongside profiles for all countries hosting active volcanoes.
