Dear colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract to our Cities on Volcanoes 9 Session 1.2:
Volcanic impact and risk assessment: Forecasting the future
Conveners: Natalia Deligne (GNS Science, New Zealand), Christina Magill (Risk Frontiers, Macquarie University, Australia), Susanna Jenkins (University of Bristol, UK), Gabriel Bernal (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain)
Session description:
Local, regional, national, and international authorities, and the insurance sector, benefit from a robust understanding of the likely impacts and risk presented by future volcanic eruptions. In the past decade substantial advances have been made both on understanding and assessing the impacts of volcanic eruptions and in quantifying associated risks. In this session, we focus on impact and risk assessment of volcanic eruptions. We solicit contributions concerning scenario-based impact assessment, probabilistic risk modelling methodologies, and risk assessment case studies. Population, agricultural, infrastructure, economic, and mixed focuses are all welcome.
Our session is part of Symposium 1: Volcanoes Risk Reduction.
The abstract submission deadline is 15 July 2015.
Cities on Volcanoes 9 will be held in Puerto Varas, Chile, November 20 – 25, 2016.
