************************************************************************** From: Michael Sheridan <mfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************************** I would like to invite abstracts for the following Natural Hazards session at the EGU General Assembly that will be held in Vienna, Austria on 19-24 April 2009. NH11.2 - Modelling and simulation of dangerous phenomena, and innovative techniques for hazard evaluation, mapping, mitigation Convener: G.R. Iovine /Co-Conveners: Dr. Huebl, M. Pastor, M.F. Sheridan Several types of dangerous phenomena (either natural or man-made) pose serious risk in many parts of the world. A fundamental task in hazard evaluation includes the prediction of the area influenced by the hazardous phenomenon, of its evolution in space and time, and the understanding of triggering mechanisms. This section mainly focuses on theoretical and numerical researches, especially those supported by computer-assisted techniques of computation. Different approaches might be taken: some mainly focus on the problem of time-sequential movements, by using either physical-based or empirical methods of analysis, others includes attempts to predict the evolution of a given natural phenomenon. Studies concerning innovative methods of modelling and simulation for hazard prevention purposes are welcome. Contributions on new techniques of simulation, case studies, and novel methods of model calibration and validation, as well as on sensitivity analyses are solicited. Comparative discussions on potential and limits of different modelling approaches are also within the scope of this session. **************************************************************************** Please note that the deadline for abstract submissions is 13 January. Abstracts can be submitted at the URL below. http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2009/session/829 Thank you Mike Sheridan UB Center for GeoHazards Studies ============================================================== 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. ==============================================================
