I love this topic, Shweta! I worked on building a model for class to predict the timing and magnitude of volcanic eruptions. The trouble with this is exactly the problem you discuss. Since volcanic eruption data require highly sensitive instruments in harsh environmental conditions and the relative frequency of actual eruptions is low, there isn't much of this data available. So, a team of researchers came up with a mathematical model to generate realistic eruption data based on existing environmental conditions such as conduit radius, magma density/viscosity, atmospheric pressure, etc. It was essential to have enough data to train and test our model, and it is clear to me how promising synthetic data are when real-world data are scarce. 🌋 👏
