Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite submissions to "Session 1.6: Volcanic
Impacts to Society: Deciphering Observations from the Field to the Lab"
at the Cities on Volcanoes Conference 9, Chile.
DESCRIPTION:
Volcanic eruptions can cause a range of societal impacts from local
to global scales. The severity of impact is typically a function of the
hazard intensity (e.g. ashfall load), what societal elements are
exposed (e.g. people, buildings,
crops, etc.), and the vulnerability (or resilience) of those elements.
Understanding volcanic impacts and how to reduce their effects forms a
cornerstone of volcanic disaster risk reduction. Our understanding of
identifying and estimating what volcanic impacts
may occur, along with what approaches can reduce those impacts has
progressed steadily over the past decades. This session aims to explore
how science can improve management of volcanic impacts through field and
laboratory based assessment of impacts and mitigation
measures, and the translation and application of this knowledge into
volcanic risk management approaches. This session also aims to explore
how to assess impacts from long- duration, multiple and cascading
hazards across complex systems as well as the longer
term effects of disruption. Traditional risk assessment methodologies
have not addressed this, yet multi-hazard impacts over multi-stage
eruptions have proven to be the most damaging and challenging to manage.
We particularly encourage contributions from South
America or with potential application in South America.
