Title: IAVCEI 2017 – Session VII.4 : Integrated Volcanic Risk Assessment
Dear colleagues,
We invite all of you developing resarch contributing to a better assessment of volcanic risks to consider submitting an abstract and presenting your research in the session VII.4: ‘Integrated Volcanic Risk Assessment’ at the IAVCEI 2017 Scientific Assembly in Portland, Oregon, August 14-18, 2017. Abstracts may be submitted through the IAVCEI 2017 web site: http://iavcei2017.org. Deadline for submission is March, 17, 2017.
Session VII. 4
Integrated Volcanic Risk Assessment
Robust volcanic impact, threat, and risk assessment is an essential contribution to volcanic risk management, societal resilience, and the long term mitigation of eruption impacts. These relate volcanic hazards with estimates of the consequences on exposed populations, buildings, infrastructure, networks (e.g., aviation routes), and ecosystems. Studies can be undertaken at the single site, village or city scale, all the way to global assessments. Some assessments are volcano-specific, e.g. evaluate the threat posed by a single volcano, while others focus on the population or sector that may be disrupted, e.g., ash impacts from any volcano to the aviation sector, with many a combination of both. Assessments are undertaken by a variety of groups, including local through national-level governments, volcano observatories, international bodies, businesses, and the insurance sector.
In this session, we aim at bringing together volcanologists, risk scientists, planners, responders, engineers, and social scientists. We invite contributions concerning 1) methodologies and implementation of volcano threat assessments, 2) the development and application of fragility and vulnerability functions, particularly those relating to aviation and critical infrastructure, 3) advances in considering interdependencies, 4) illustrative case studies of past events, 5) exposure database compilation, including population, built environment, and land use considerations, particularly in data-poor contexts, and 6) the quantitative or qualitative integration of hazards, exposure and vulnerability.
