2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Paul Taylor <avitaylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Colleagues The IAVCEI Congress is on in January-February 2023 and we would like to invite you to submit abstracts for the following symposia that will form part of the IAVCEI Scientific Assembly to be held in Rotorua, New Zealand in Jan-Feb 2023. Volcanism and Volcanic Hazards in the SW Pacific: Management of the Effects on Local Communities The SW Pacific is geologically complex consisting of a series of active and dormant oceanic island arc and back-arc systems that have undergone numerous phases of activity. The late-Tertiary and the Quaternary has seen periods of intense tectonic activity in the region, particularly in Fiji, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands with frequent volcanic activity being experienced. To the north, the Samoan Islands, a series of youthful volcanic seamounts has also experienced periods of volcanic activity. Explosive and effusive volcanic activity has occurred in most of the countries, and is still continuing today. Associated with this activity; a range of volcanic hazards have affected many local communities. How then, can the small nations of SW Pacific best position themselves for coping with future volcanic disasters, and increase their resilience, particularly at the local community level? The region also offers a less traditional approach to studying volcanic hazard, risk, and risk management in the form of stories and oral history. Data derived from oral history, sits alongside scientific data and allows opportunities for inclusive working with indigenous people. We invite papers that outline what work has been done or being undertaken in the SW Pacific region. Papers would include studies of individual volcanic systems and their activity, the status of the risk mechanisms within the region and volcanic hazard risk solutions that could or have been be used to reduce the risk to communities in the region form future activity. Please note that abstract submission closes on 02 September 2022.
