Dear All
We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to Cities on Volcanoes 9 Session 1.13:During recent years great advances have been made in observing and
understanding volcanoes, and how we understand, record and anticipate
hazardous behaviour and impacts. A key component has been the collation
and refinement of large, varied datasets, which are increasingly
recognised as a key resource for the global community, which must be
systematic, comparable and accessible. Databases are a valuable means of
recording everything from monitoring volcanic unrest, to eruptive
activity, its processes and hazards, and beyond to descriptions of syn-
and post-eruptive impacts. Such databases are a tremendous resource for
identifying trends and forecasting eruptive behaviour based on past
activity at specific volcanoes or analogue systems where little data is
known. Databases can be used to build pre-eruptive event trees that help
streamline decision-making with regards to monitoring and hazard
mitigation.
This session aims to highlight the varied types of volcano database that exist or are in development and to identify synergies across databases. A goal of the session is bring together database developers with decision makers and emergency managers to identify key needs and methodologies to better enable hazard identification and mitigation, and risk reduction. We seek contributions showcasing the use and development of databases which further our understanding of volcanic unrest and monitoring, eruption processes, products and hazards, the impacts of eruptions and/or risk assessment.

Our session is part of Symposium 1: Volcanoes Risk Reduction. https://www.citiesonvolcanoes9.com/en/program/scientific-technical-program/symposiums/symposium-1/
The abstract deadline is 15 July 2016.
See you there!
