Subject: Pre-IAVCEI Workshop on Volcanic Record Completeness

********************************************************************************************************

The COSIV (Commission on Statistics in Volcanology) working group on volcanic record completeness are running a workshop http://iavcei2017.org/preB_3.html on Sunday 13 August before the IAVCEI scientific assembly in Portland this year. The idea of the working group/workshop is to gather experts working on issues to do with volcanic record completeness, and the downstream consequences for frequency-magnitude and hazard estimates. The objective of this workshop will be to summarise what is known about data completeness of volcanic records, and to discuss and agree on possible research directions in this space.


We anticipate four main presentation themes:
 
1.       Why completeness matters
2.       Eruption record sources
3.       Databases
4.       Current state of play
 
And three discussion themes:
A.       Completeness
B.       Hazards
C.       Working group future and activities

We are aiming for a cosy, discussion-led workshop, with invited presentations from (so far) Koji Kiyosugi, Sue Loughlin, Stuart Mead, Chris Newhall, Sarah Ogburn, Tom Sheldrake, Ed Venzke and Ting Wang. A link to a web page with further details will be forthcoming once the program is finalized.

 

Funds are available from Earth Observatory of Singapore to support workshop registration costs for a small number of Early Career Researchers (loosely defined as PhD students, or those within 5 years of completion). To apply, please write to susanna.jenkins@xxxxxxxxxx before 5 May briefly explaining how your research interests relate to the workshop on data completeness. We’ll let you know if you are successful by 9 May, well in advance of the 1 June registration deadline.
