VUELCO short-course 2014: Coping with volcanic unrest
7-14 November, 2014
Quito, Ecuador
We are delighted to announce the VUELCO 2014 short-course: Coping with volcanic unrest.
The course will run from Nov. 7 to 14 and will be hosted in Quito as well as on the flanks of Cotopaxi volcano.
_DESCRIPTION_
The short-course comprises field trips around Cotopaxi volcano, lectures and a volcanic unrest simulation exercise. The short-course is aimed at post-graduate students, volcano observatory personnel and other professionals with an interest in pre-eruptive stages of volcanic activity. Although not exclusively, the focus of the course will be on pre-eruptive processes, scenario forecasting and crises management at continental arc volcanoes such as Cotopaxi volcano.
The preliminary program can be found on www.vuelco.net incl. links to register for the course.
Lectures and other activities will be run in both Spanish and English. There will not be a professional translation service available for all activities. Participation is limited to up to 35 individuals.
