This announcement is to invite you to contribute with a presentation to session S3.6 Volcanoes and Human History
S3.6 | Volcanoes and Human History
Our interactions with volcanoes stretches back into pre-history and give rise to a
diverse range of human-landscape relationships. Such perspectives, however,
remain under-utilized for assessment of risks posed by active volcanism, or for ways
to mitigate those risks. Why people decide to confront such a dramatic scenario
is difficult to answer. Moreover, studies of interactions between humans and
volcanoes span a wide range of disciplines, yet cross-disciplinary conversations
are limited. Here we propose to seed such conversations by inviting contributions
on topics related to the interactions between humans and their volcanically active
environments, including observations of events (e.g., written, oral and visual histories),
insight into the short- and long-term consequences of volcanism on local, regional,
and global populations, and broader cultural implications of the landscape-human
bond (e.g., kinship, traditional mitigation practices). Establishing the relationship
between people and their environment requires field constraints, particularly where
the inter-stratification of archaeological and volcanological sequences makes it
possible to i) date prehistoric and historical volcanic eruptions precisely, ii) determine
the influence of volcanic activity on human life, iii) study the effects of the deposition
of volcanic products on the landscape, and iv) use the volcanic deposits as marker
beds for dating and correlating unknown archaeological sequences. How do
populations around frequently active volcanoes respond? Are there patterns to the
way populations behave when faced with such activity? Together, archaeological,
oral and written records document the effects of syn- and post-eruptive volcanic
hazards on contemporaneous cultures. This session documents the impacts of
volcanoes on human settlements and provides new insight into human behaviour
after different kinds of volcanic eruptions. Critically, identifying the complex relations
between humans and these extreme geological phenomena can inform present-day
approaches to hazard management, large-scale and local effects of the volcanic
events and resettlement strategies employed after catastrophic eruptions.
