Dear Friends of Volcano Geoheritage,
Abstract submission deadline is approaching fast. Please consider to submit your relevant research presentations to the session planned for the COV 10 Conference.
S3.5 | Protected Volcanic Landscapes and their Geo-cultural Heritage: Opportunities for education, management, and scientific research
Volcanic landscapes and associated cultural sites are increasingly being recognized as critical areas to protect and conserve for the unique geoscientific and cultural aspects they represent and as places to enjoy and learn about the science and history of our planet. Many volcanoes the world over have a long history of interaction with human communities characterised by the exploitation of the resources they provide as well as the risks and impacts they periodically generate. These protected volcanic landscapes are seen to be areas for recreation and significant sustainable development through geotourism. However, due to the increasing interest in these geological sites, they also require increasing scientific knowledge to guarantee the best presentation and dissemination of their geological and cultural heritage as well as for the safety and the security of their visitors by conducting accurate disaster risk management. This session focuses on all aspects of this geo-cultural heritage including the tangible (sites, objects, instruments, remains) and intangible (memories, narratives, indigenous knowledge) which result from the millennia of interactions between humans and volcanoes. Framing volcanoes, their benefits and the risks they pose, through the lens of geological heritage provides a context for scientists, the public, and policy-makers to understand how changes in vulnerability, risk, and resilience can result in different impacts from one eruption to the next. In this session, we invite presentations which address the themes of geo-cultural heritage, volcano geotourism, education and outreach, and are aimed at promoting an exchange of information and experiences between organizations and people responsible for managing and/or working in protected volcanic landscapes, and for sharing knowledge regarding experiences in education and outreach, geotourism, site management, and scientific research.
