Volcanic Eruptions and Volcanic Ash Plumes: Are We Better Prepared for the Next One?
Session ID#: 9062
Session Description:
Volcanoes
present a variety of hazards on the local and global scale. During a
volcanic crisis, people are faced with specific decisions based on the
particular hazard they may be presented with. These decisions are often
based on a cost-benefit analysis weighted by the perception of risk and
the perception of mitigating actions, which may vary depending on
socio-economic and political factors. Given a growing understanding of
atmospheric and geologic processes resulting from advances in technology
and scientific instrumentation, our ability to monitor, model and
forecast volcanic events has dramatically improved in recent decades:
progress which has strengthened inputs into the decision making process
regarding societal impacts. This session seeks to examine the interface
between volcanic research and monitoring, and societal response before,
during and after a volcanic eruption.
