A volcanologist is someone that studies volcanoes. Volcanology is an important job as volcanoes can be threatening to many populations today.
It is believed that 1,500 active volcanoes around the world threaten half a billion people.
There are only about 200-300 volcanologists in the world today and over the last 20 years, 23 volcanologists have been killed by volcanoes.
