We invite you to register for post-meeting workshop and field trip "Statistics in Volcanology: The Hazards of Lassen Volcano" to be held from August 19 to August 24.
This workshop will explore probabilistic modelling and statistical best practices for volcanic hazard assessment. The workshop will begin with fieldwork at Lassen Volcano, California; a complex volcano that has produced a range of hazards from small lava flows to large debris avalanches. Lassen’s array of hazards, varying vent locations, and eruption timing data will serve as a case study for the classroom portion of the workshop. The workshop will explore different volcanic hazard models; fitting, validation, and evaluation of models; and probabilistic best practices for running these models. Participants will gain a better understanding of volcanic hazard models, and their limitations and uncertainties.
Schedule:
8/19: Drive to Lassen Volcano from Portland
8/20-21: Field work, bonus solar eclipse
8/22-23: Workshop on probabilistic hazard modelling
8/24: Drive to Sacramento, CA airport (participants are responsible for arranging airfare)
Costs: $200 (covers workshop costs and transportation to Lassen), participants must bring money for food, lodging (camping or cabin, range of pricing), and return airfare
