******************************************* GARAVOLCAN 2006 (Tenerife, Canary Islands) ******************************************* From: Nemesio Perez <nperez@xxxxxxx> GARAVOLCAN 2006 300th Anniversary Volcano Conference** Commemorating the 1706 Arenas Negras Eruption** Tenerife, Canary Islands, SPAIN*<>* May 22-26, 2006*** This international conference will be held at the San Francisco's Old Convent (Garachico, Tenerife, Canary Islands, SPAIN) from May 22 to 26, 2006. GARAVOLCAN 2006 is organized by the Atlantis Forum and sponsored by the Government of the Canary Islands, the City of Garachico and the Instituto Tecnologico y de Energias Renovables (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain) for commemorating the 300th anniversary of the 1706 Arenas Negras eruption. In spite of the short time interval of this 1706 eruption (9 days), this volcanic event was the most important historical eruption at Tenerife because of its tremendous impact on the social and economic development of the Island of Tenerife during the XVIII century, specially for the City of Garachico. This conference is planned as an international forum for specialists working on reducing volcanic risk, specially in islands environments. Scientific and technical sessions are planned to bring together researchers from different disciplines and civil protection specialists who share a common goal, but who historically have had only limited interactions with each other. Sessions related to volcano monitoring techniques as well as emergency plans are not restricted to island environments. Garachico is a small stunning village, which had the first commercial port of the island, till 1706 when an eruption destroyed the port. At present Garachico is a beautiful village, with some unforgettable historic squares. * * <>*SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS 1th Session: Volcanic Hazard & Risk Assessment (specially in island environment) Keynote Speakers: Hans-Ulrich Schmincke (GEOMAR, Christian Albrechts University of Kiel, Germany) John "Jack" Lockwood (Geohazards Consultants International Inc., Hawaii, USA) 2nd Session: Geophysical Methods for Volcanic Surveillance Keynote Speakers: Jurgen Neuberg (IPGP Observatoire Volcanologique du Piton de la Fournaise, France) Jacques Zlotnicki (Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans, France) 3rd Session: Geochemical Methods for Volcanic Surveillance Keynote Speakers: Giovanni Chiodini (Osservatorio Vesuviano, INGV, Italy) Clive Oppenheimer (The University of Cambridge, United Kingdom) Kenji Notsu (The University of Tokyo, Japan) 4th Session: Geodetic Methods for Volcanic Surveillance Keynote Speakers: Hazel Rymer (Open University, United Kingdom) Naoyuki Fujii (Nagoya University, Japan) 5th Session: Emergency Planning and Volcanic Crisis Management Keynote Speakers: Franco Barberi (Roma3 University, Italy) John Lockwood (Geohazards Consultants International Inc., Hawaii, USA) Joao Luis Gaspar (CAVRG, The University of Azores, Portugal) Hiroshi Wakita (Gakushin Women?s College, Japan) Atje Purbawinata (Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, Indonesia) Ernesto G.
