CoV9. Session 1.14: Management of volcanoes on international borders
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear all,
We would like to draw your attention to the following session at Cities on Volcanoes 9 in Puerto Varas, Chile, from 20th to 25th November 2016:
Management of volcanoes on international borders S1.14
This session invites papers that deal with experiences of and insights into the complex problem of managing volcanic eruptions that affect more than one country. Recent examples include the eruption of Nabro volcano in Eritrea in 2011 and the eruptions of Chaitén, Puyehue Cordón Caulle and Calbuco in Chile since 2008. Such eruptions provide challenges for scientists, decision-makers and populations, particularly in the communication of scientific data, in understanding different institutional structures and alert systems, and in negotiating cultural differences. This session welcomes contributions that deal with past events or with existing collaborations at volcanoes whose eruptions will likely affect multiple countries. It also welcomes contributions based on experience of negotiating borders more widely, as the volcanic ash advisory centres do, for example.
Convenors: Elizabeth Rovere (SEGEMAR, Argentina); Alvaro Amigo (SERNAGEOMIN, Chile); Amy Donovan (King’s College London)
