Maunten paia: Volcanoes, people and environment
Carol Lentfer and Bill Boyd
The 1994 volcanic eruptions in Rabaul, PNG, caused environmental and
social devastation to the Gazelle Peninsula. They now provide an ideal opportunity
to study the immediate and longer-term effects of, and recovery from, such
natural catastrophes on people and their environment.
Maunten paia is a celebration of social strength and
human resilience in the face of environmental pressure, and is a tribute
to the people of Rabaul.
