3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Victoria Miller <v.miller@xxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, The IAVCEI Scientific Assembly is being held next year in Rotorua, New Zealand, 30th Jan â?? 3rd Feb 2023, and with the abstract deadline approaching (2 September) we would like to invite you to submit an abstract to our session which is focused on volcanic islands: ****Small Islands, Big Challenges: Hazard assessment, monitoring and mitigation on volcanic islands** Convenors: Victoria Miller, Esline Garaebiti Bule, Supriyati Andreastuti, Davitia James, Stephanie Prejean Volcanic islands are beautiful by nature, but present a range of challenges when it comes to understanding, monitoring and mitigating the risks of their volcanoes. From the availability of data for hazard assessment, to the design and implementation of proximal or remote monitoring networks, the methods employed elsewhere often need to be assessed and adapted for the small island context. Furthermore, when it comes to planning and execution of emergency response measures, limited available land can impact on the social and cultural response to any volcanic activity. Managing evacuations in such settings can be challenging; geographical isolation, or indeed proximity to international borders can necessitate wide spanning, integrated emergency response measures involving external agencies or neighbouring countries. Volcanic islands are also commonly being developed for their natural resources for example tourism and georesources including geothermal exploration as well as their products e.g. sand mining. There is an inherent challenge with balancing sustainable economic development, with potential environmental impacts, cultural impacts and levels of population at risk to volcanic hazards where land is at a premium. Conserving the environment around the volcano can be difficult because of the competing land use requirements, and any pre-existing dependence for livelihoods around the volcano, or improper land use can increase the risk and limit existing mitigation strategies. These challenges, however, also represent opportunities, to develop unique strategies, methods, policy and technologies to tackle them. The objective of this session is to bring together ideas on challenges, opportunities and best practice for understanding, monitoring and managing risk on volcanic islands. We encourage multidisciplinary submissions that exchange ideas on their unique island setting, but also provide opportunities to learn from others, with a view to promoting future resilience to volcanic hazards in a small island setting. We hope to see you there! Many thanks, Victoria, Esline, Supriyati, Davitia and Stephanie Conference details: 30th Jan â?? 3rd Feb 2023, Rotorua, New Zealand https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!a0AuuUlhTIL5DASfzX25pY7JUKCKVzkp65AOWfvF8WiurCqgP-ErUoGQ4ehEceo5FGKb5cWHgvX_WYz1$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!ab_6yJCrZEurE6RxABm1Y8qoIFfGhzDMOVbJxccseQtrni5I1hVwL_XWOaDpC7fK71ZE3KZOvb3Mj56QCc4$> To submit an abstract please visit: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/call-for-abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!a0AuuUlhTIL5DASfzX25pY7JUKCKVzkp65AOWfvF8WiurCqgP-ErUoGQ4ehEceo5FGKb5cWHgsOyIUcL$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/call-for-abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!ab_6yJCrZEurE6RxABm1Y8qoIFfGhzDMOVbJxccseQtrni5I1hVwL_XWOaDpC7fK71ZE3KZOvb3M2YGDAf0$> *Abstract deadline 2 September 2022* Session information: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/scientific-symposia__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!a0AuuUlhTIL5DASfzX25pY7JUKCKVzkp65AOWfvF8WiurCqgP-ErUoGQ4ehEceo5FGKb5cWHgkK16Z5J$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/scientific-symposia__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!ab_6yJCrZEurE6RxABm1Y8qoIFfGhzDMOVbJxccseQtrni5I1hVwL_XWOaDpC7fK71ZE3KZOvb3MDoVS7VY$> 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 ------------------------------
