Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to session 1.II.C: “Modeling
Hazardous Events: New Techniques to Model, Assess and Mitigate Volcano Hazards”
for abstract submission at Cities on Volcanoes 8 meeting in Yogyakarta,
Indonesa (Sept 9-14, 2014).
We invite contributions concerning new and evolving techniques that model physical processes associated with volcanic activity. In this session, we strive to foster better understanding of these developing techniques, improve collaboration among scientists and believe such understanding can lead to improved volcano hazard mitigation.
Modeling Hazardous Events: New Techniques to Model, Assess
and Mitigate Volcano Hazards
Convenors: Steve Schilling, Angela Diefenbach, USGS-CVO and Anjar Heriwaseso,
CVGHM
Session description:
New techniques to model physical processes associated with volcanic activity are being developed to provide volcanologists with timely information to evaluate ongoing changes during unrest and eruption, improve the ability to predict hazards, and reduce their impacts through better mitigation. Such techniques include rapid creation of models depicting topographic change as well as new and improved ways to model pyroclastic, lahar and lava flow inundation, ash fall and ash dispersion. These techniques can be linked to improve forecasting of events: for example, accurate models of flow hazards require accurate high resolution terrain models. In addition, web-based access to many of these tools is rapidly evolving to provide remote and rapid access to an assortment of process models to analyze ongoing unrest. The focus of this session is presentation of new and evolving modeling techniques and innovative analysis tools for early warning, assessment of changing conditions and volcano hazard mitigation.
The abstract submission deadline is Monday, April 14, 2014. Full details can be found on http://www.citiesonvolcanoes8.com.
