SESSION DESCRIPTION:
Volcanic-ash and -gas hazards are far reaching and disruptive, affecting more people, infrastructure, and daily activities than any other eruptive phenomena. Recent volcanic ashfalls with significant local, regional, and global impacts highlighted the need to improve resources and make them more accessible and pertinent to users worldwide. The internationally collaborative Volcanic Ashfall Impacts Working Group (Cities and Volcanoes Commission of IAVCEI) is dedicated to applied research and resource development in the area of ashfall and gas impacts and effective mitigation strategies (https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/vo
This session aims to update scientists and practitioners on the latest research and resources available on volcanic ash and gas impacts and mitigation. This session will include an overview of the last few years of work by the international Ashfall Impacts Working Group and a series of targeted invited talks to highlight the framework studies and leading contributions on ash and gas impacts to date. Significant time is reserved for open discussion on future directions in applied research and identification of gaps in knowledge in the area of volcanic ash and gas impacts and mitigation.
The goal of this session is to raise awareness of the international Ashfall Impacts Working Group’s activities by broadly sharing the myriad of research being done in the area of volcanic ash and gas impacts and mitigation with emphasis on linkages with international research groups and encouragement to become involved in this area of applied research.
Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
