Volcanic ashfall impacts working group – Supporting response planning, data collection and a global database
Date: Saturday 19 November 2016
Topics: (1) Developing a global ashfall impacts database, including schema, hosting and serving a range of end-users, including Global Volcanic Model (GVM) and the Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR); (2) Ashfall collection, aiming for links to commissions focusing on ash modeling and on hazard mapping; (3) Design and support of effective inter-agency ashfall mitigation plans; (4) Protocols for impact collection.
Expected outcomes:
Organizers: Thomas Wilson (thomas.wilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), Natalia Deligne (N.Deligne@xxxxxxxxxx), Kristi Wallace (kwallace@xxxxxxxx), Suzanna Jenkins (Susanna.Jenkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx), Graham Leonard (G.Leonard@xxxxxxxxxx), Carol Stewart (C.Stewart1@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
Volcanic ash aggregation: State-of-the-art and future directions
Date: Sunday 20 November 2016 (Note: ends before the Icebreaker at 19:00)
Topics: This 6-hour workshop will be driven by invited short talks on selected topics followed by group discussions with the aim of: (1) Summarizing how to recognize ash aggregation in the field, including effective documentation, sampling, and analysis techniques; and (2) Reviewing our current understanding of aggregation processes and identifying the major gaps in knowledge.
Expected outcomes: (1) A summary document of sampling/analysis strategies, and recommendations for future work to address the key issues, (2) A Wikipedia page on ash aggregation with sub-sections defined and populated by participants.
Organizers: Alexa Van Eaton (avaneaton@xxxxxxxx), Ulrich Kueppers (u.kueppers@xxxxxx), Richard Brown (richard.brown3@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
