Dear all,
Deadline is looming, Chile is calling. We would like to invite you to contribute to the following session at the upcoming COV9:
S3.7
| Keeping people safe from volcanoes: challenges, strategies and
opportunities in volcano monitoring in developing countries
This session aims at fostering technical and strategic exchanges between volcano observatories, especially in the context of developing countries. Monitoring agencies have different operational mandates than most standard academic institutions. Sustainable and efficient volcano monitoring requires integrated planning, adequate long-term funding and sustained engagement with stakeholders. What are then some effective ways to monitor volcanoes when operating with a budget on a shoestring? What are the processes to go through to build sustainable monitoring capabilities?
This session encourages submissions discussing strategies and technological advances in volcano monitoring around the world, whether from emerging observatories or established monitoring agencies with applicability to developing nations. We particularly welcome contributions from emerging nations and encourage experience sharing amongst institutions.
