CoV9. S1.16 Session: Protected Volcanic Landscapes and Volcano Heritage – a new frontier for the application of volcano science
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention on the CoV9 Session S1.16 - Protected Volcanic Landscapes and Volcano Heritage – a new frontier for the application of volcano science
This truly multidisciplinary session is sponsored by the IAVCEI Commission on Volcanic Geoheritage and Protected Volcanic Landscapes and invites you to consider to submit your research results in form of oral or poster presentation to share your ideas with the broader scientific community. Please also note that the session is linked to a fieldtrip to explore the geological diversity and the progress of the development of the first geopark project in Chile.
Please find the details about the session below:
Protected Volcanic Landscapes and Volcano Heritage – a new frontier for the application of volcano science
Topic related: Geoarchaeology, geoparks, volcano geoheritage and tourism in volcanic areas

Brief session description
Spectacular volcanic landscapes and regions are becoming increasingly recognized as critical areas to protect and conserve for the unique geoscientific aspects they represent and as places to enjoy and learn about the science and history of our planet. There is an increasing national and international interest related to “Geoheritage”, "Geoconservation", "Geoparks" and "Geotourism" with a growing appreciation and linkage of these concepts with modern Earth sciences and volcanology in particular. These protected volcanic landscapes are seen to be areas for recreation and significant sustainable economic development through geotourism. However, due to the increasing interest in these geological sites, they also require increasing scientific knowledge to guaranty the best presentation and dissemination of their geological values, as well as for the safety and the security of their visitors by conducting accurate hazard assessment.
In this session we invite presentations which address the themes of protected volcanic landscapes and aimed at promoting an exchange of information and experiences between organizations and people responsible for managing and/or working in protected volcanic landscapes; explaining the importance of knowledge for raising awareness of volcanic landscapes at a territorial scale; and for sharing knowledge regarding experiences in management, education and geotourism in protected volcanic landscapes.

Field Trip Strongly Linked to the Sessions
Llaima and Lonquimay: FTA-1 Two active volcanoes at the center of the Kütralkura Geopark Project – Lead by Manuel Schilling
In this four-day excursion, we invite you to visit the territory that aspires to become the first Geopark of Chile under the name of Kütralkura that means Stone of Fire in Mapudungun, the native language of Mapuche people. We will visit the most important sites of geological interest, including the Truful Truful volcanic sequence where the last 13,000 years of Llaima volcano explosive eruptive activity are exposed, and the Navidad (=Christmas) pyroclastic cone built during the eruption that occurred between 1988 and 1990 in the NE flank of Lonquimay volcano. Participants will have the opportunity to share experiences with local authorities and the neighbour community, regarding the volcano hazards and discuss about the current emergency plans. Also, we will visit the indigenous Pehuenche community of Quinquen, where we will share a Pehuenche-style barbecue and will learn about their culture, history and traditions.
