************************************************************* From: JH Gottsmann <J.Gottsmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************* We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the European Geoscience Union General Assembly 2008 and invite you to contribute. Vienna, Austria, 13 - 18 April 2008. Section: Natural Hazards Volcanic hazards Title: NH3.1 Hazard and risk implications of reawakening volcanoes (co-listed in GMPV & GM) Session description Geophysical and geochemical signals at dormant volcanoes must be evaluated as potential precursors to reawakening and impending eruption. There are several recent examples of volcanic re-activation after long repose intervals culminating in explosive eruption, but non-eruptive behavior is equally documented in a number of cases. The dilemma scientists are confronted with is how to assess future behavior and to forecast the likelihood of an eruption at a reawakening volcano, when critical data from previous activity is missing. The aim of this session is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas concerning scientific criteria for the assessment of reawakening volcanoes for hazard assessment and risk mitigation. Conveners: J.
