Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute an abstract to session S2.7, at the upcoming conference “Cities on Volcanoes 10” (www.citiesonvolcanoes10.com), that will be held in Naples, Italy, from September 2 to 7, 2018.  This session is part of Symposium 2: “Assessing and managing volcanic risk”.. 


 S2.7 | Volcanic risk assessment and mitigation for Latino-American cities

Volcanic hazards may have destructive effects on economy, human societies and natural environments at both local and regional scale. Hazardous phenomena include debris avalanches and flows, lahars, pyroclastic density currents, tephra fall, gas emissions, and lava flows. Exposure to these hazards is particularly critical in Latino-America, where, due to the demographic pressure, there has been a trend of cities growing and expanding closer and closer to active volcanoes. Examples are Managua, Nicaragua, Arequipa, Peru, Pasto, Colombia, but also cities located even far away from the volcanoes that can be affected by volcanic ash, such as Bariloche, Argentina, Quito, Ecuador, Mexico City, etc.

Quantitative risk assessment methodologies are necessary to support and facilitate decision making policies. This involves the integration of quantitative geological data with probabilistic analysis aimed to build robust hazard maps. This session aims to bring together studies focused on 1) volcanic hazard assessment based on geological data combined with modelling tools, 2) physical and social vulnerability analysis, 3) qualitative and quantitative risk assessment for

latino american volcanoes, and 4) Risk Mitigation. This session is addressed to scientists who have interest and work on risk analysis (hazard, vulnerability and risk) and risk mitigation related to Latino-American volcanoes. 

 

Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is May 18th, 2018.

 

Feel free to share this announcement to other interested people and to contact the Conveners for any further information.

 


We are planning to produce an special volume at a high impact journal about risk and mitigation at Latino-American cities.. 


See you in Naples!
