Call for submissions to JAV thematic series: Development and application of volcanic fragility and vulnerability functions
From: Natalia Deligne <N.Deligne@xxxxxxxxxx>Call for submissions to JAV thematic series: Development and application of volcanic fragility and vulnerability functions
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce a Journal of Applied Volcanology thematic series:
Development and application of volcanic fragility and vulnerability functions
Guest editors: Natalia Deligne (GNS Science, New Zealand), Susanna Jenkins (University of Bristol, UK), Giulio Zuccaro (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Italy), and Sungsu Lee (Chungbuk National University, South Korea)
This thematic series focuses on volcanic fragility and vulnerability functions as used in quantitative risk assessments. Such functions link the severity of a hazard to consequences on people, the built environment, primary industries, the economy, and/or society. This is rapidly developing and growing area in applied volcanology and this thematic series aims to collate and showcase applications of these functions in volcanology.
Topics of interest include:
* Qualitative or quantitative fragility and vulnerability functions for one or multiple volcanic hazards
* Application of volcanic fragility and/or vulnerability functions to research questions
* Case studies of applications of volcanic fragility and/or vulnerability functions in practice
* Use of volcanic fragility and/or vulnerability functions as an educational or outreach tool.
Deadline for submission: abstracts 23 December 2015, manuscripts 30 April 2016**
** Manuscripts submitted by end of the calendar year (31 December 2015) have an excellent chance of receiving a publication fee waiver - see Graham Leonard's email to VOLCANO listserv on 1 September 2015
