******************************** IUGG Perugia General Assembly, Perugia, Italy, 2-13 July, 2007 VS008 Volcanic hazard evaluation: methodologies and applications ******************************** Dear colleagues, We would like to remind you that IUGG abstract submission is getting close: Electronic submission of abstracts: February 28, 2007 and we would like to draw your attention to our session VS008 on "Volcanic hazard evaluation: methodologies and applications" A description of the session is provided below. Best regards, Susanna Falsaperla and Roberto Carniel VS008: "Volcanic hazard evaluation: methodologies and applications" Sponsoring Association: IAVCEI Conveners: Roberto Carniel, Susanna Falsaperla The aim of this session is to discuss quantitative tools to evaluate volcanic hazard, both from the theoretical point of view and from the point of view of the application to specific case studies. We welcome contributions that allow to characterize the entire processing line going from the monitoring data to the probability of a given eruptive scenario. In particular, the theory and application of methodologies that can be used to integrate different strands of evidence and that can handle new monitoring data as it comes in to evaluate updated probabilities are particularly welcome. These include for instance bayesian belief networks and event trees but also methodologies that can feed these tools with simpler input data, such as artificial neural networks, classification tools, data reduction tools, multivariate time series statistics, markovian models, logical models, expert elicitation techniques, etc. For additional information on the IUGG general assembly 2007 visit http://www.iugg2007perugia.it/ Roberto Carniel, Dipartimento di Georisorse e Territorio, Università di Udine, Via Cotonificio, 114 33100 Udine, Italy roberto.carniel@xxxxxxxx Susanna Falsaperla, Istituto Nazionale Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione di Catania, P.zza Roma, 2 95123 Catania, Italy falsaperla@xxxxxxxxxx ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
