We are delighted to announce the VUELCO 2015 short-course: Coping with volcanic unrest.
The course will run from May 10 to 15, 2015 and will be held in Roseau, Dominica, Lesser Antilles.
_DESCRIPTION_
The short-course comprises field trips to the volcanic centres of Northern and Southern Dominica, 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 volcanic crises management at island arc volcanoes.

Lectures and other activities will be run in English. Participation is limited to up to 35 individuals.
