Dear Collegues,
I would like to draw your attention to the Short Course: Advances in monitoring and hazard assessment at active volcanoes (co-sponsored by NEMOH). (co-organized)
Convener: Gilberto Saccorotti | Co-Convener: Daniele Carbone
Tue, 14 Apr, 17:30–20:00 / Room B4
During
the last couple of decades, volcanology has evolved significantly,
allowing for an improved understanding of volcanic processes preceding,
accompanying and following eruptive events. Key elements to these
achievements are (1) the huge amounts of high quality data being
collected by networks of increasingly sensitive instruments deployed at
active volcanoes, and (2) the establishment of a solid,
multidisciplinary theoretical framework for the quantitative prediction
of geophysical and geochemical measurements. Taken together, these
advances now permit to study the mechanisms that control mass transfer
underneath volcanoes in unprecedented detail; as a consequence,
the short- to medium-term forecast of volcanic eruptions is more and
more based on the understanding of the physics of the causative
processes, rather than on a phenomenological approach.
This short course is aimed at presenting (a) the main technological and
methodological advances in the measurement of the wide-band displacement
and changes in potential fields, and both the in-situ and remote
measurements of gas emissions at active volcanoes; (b) a detailed
overview of the theoretical background and associated modeling tools for
the quantitative inversion and interpretation of the experimental data,
and (c) methods and paradigms for turning these information into
quantitative hazard assessment.
The short course is
part of the educational and training initiatives of NEMOH - an Initial
Training Network under the European Community FP7.
Please share this information with students and friends who might be interested in joining us.
Best Regards
Alessandro Fornaciai
