Dear colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to the following session on volcanic hazard assessment of PDCs and lahars to be held during the Cities on Volcanoes 10 meeting, in Napoli (Italy), from 2-7 September 2018 (https://www.citiesonvolcanoes
The session aims to engage the volcanological community in conversations about current and new strategies to quantify volcani
Abstract submission starts on 10th February 2018 and will run until 10th May 2018.
We would be very pleased to share the session with as many of you as possible!
Many thanks and see you in Napoli.
Ciao,
Pablo Tierz, Andrea Bevilacqua, Stuart Mead, Fabio Dioguardi, Elaine Spiller, Laura Sandri
However, major uncertainties affecting the eruption occurrence, its phenomenology and potential flow impacts typically hinder a precise (deterministic) quantification of volcanic hazard. This demands the development of methodologies that, merging geological/geophysical data and physical/statistical modeling, are able to specify the probability of various eruption scales, source locations, flow types, and boundary conditions that influence the flow hazard.
Using this information, Civil Protection authorities and stakeholders will be able to improve their awareness of what is known and what is unknown and use this knowledge to better protect the local communities. This becomes even more important in densely populated regions, where exposure to volcanic risk is largest.
In this session, we seek to bring flow modelers and hazard analysts together to discuss about the current methodologies to quantify PDC and lahar hazard (and related uncertainties) as well as to identify novel strategies, including model development, that can help improve flow hazard assessments worldwide."
