Session details
Title: Volcanoes and Society
Conveners: Sandro de Vita, Mauro A. Di Vito, Costanza Bonadonna
Description:
Despite the hazards posed by volcanoes, humans have always found good reasons to settle in their vicinity, including soil fertility and the use of volcanic products for various activities. The Mediterranean region is one of the most impressive examples of this interaction, where the development of civilization has been repeatedly boosted and hindered. As demonstrated by the recent 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption (Iceland) the impact of even moderate-scale eruptions is amplified by the increasing vulnerability of modern society related to growing population, rising standard of living, settlement and industrialization of very exposed regions, and complex interdependencies in commerce, including transport and trade systems at a global scale. The main goal of this session is to promote cultural exchange and interaction among diverse disciplines, to enhance our understanding of the relationships among volcanism, the environment and human communities. Multidisciplinary contributions are solicited mainly in the fields of environmental archaeology, environmental and climatic studies, volcanic hazard assessment and risk reduction.
