2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Guillaume Boudoire <guillaume.boudoire@xxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to session S1.13: *â??Conciliating research, volcano monitoring and socio-economic issues: advances and prospects in low- to middle-income countriesâ??* at the next COV-11 that will be held in Crete from 23 to 27 May 2020, (*https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/abstracts). Here you can find the session's description: â??Volcanic provinces constitute a dilemma regarding our future on Earth. With more than 500 million inhabitants living near a volcano, eruptions constitute one of the main sources of natural hazards for humanity. On another hand, volcanic provinces tend to favor the settling of local populations due to the plethora of induced natural resources as geothermal energy, construction materials, and fertile volcanic soils. Considering the continuous growth of the global population, it becomes fundamental to understand today how human activities may develop in volcanic provinces where can exist an imbalance between connected natural hazards and resources. It is even truer in low- to middle-income countries where agriculture and tourism represent often the main economic sources and are fundamental for the survival of local populations. In these countries, it may be particularly difficult to develop research programs as well as networks able to monitor active volcanoes, because of limited financial resources, environmental conditions, and potential geopolitical troubles. In this session, we focus on advances in research studies performed in low- to middle-income countries that are oriented towards volcano monitoring and risk assessment which can favor local socio-economic development. In particular, we solicit contributions concerning (i) monitoring prospects, especially if realized by low-cost and easy-deployable systems and, (ii) new protocols merging volcanic hazard assessment and human sustainability. We encourage a focus on volcanic provinces in Africa, Central, and South America and Southeast Asia.â?? We look forward to meeting lots of you in Crete! 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ============================================================== 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).
