4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: "Handley, Heather (UT-ITC)" <h.k.handley@xxxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to our session "Traditional Knowledge and its value in understanding past and present volcanism" for the 2023 IAVCEI conference which can be found under the theme "Volcanoes and society: from Indigenous Peoples to a multicultural world" Session Outline People have been living with volcanism for millennia. Prior to the advent of literacy, knowledge of volcanic eruptions and their associated hazards were communicated and passed down through generations via oral traditions. The potential of traditional knowledge has been largely overlooked by western science but is invaluable for developing a full understanding of volcanic histories, their impacts on society and the environment, and the effective communication of volcanic hazards. This session welcomes contributions that integrate oral and scientific knowledge of volcanoes from historical, anthropological and volcanological sources to enhance our understanding of volcanic histories and contemporary management of volcanic hazards. Abstract submission deadline: September 2, 2022 https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/call-for-abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YgD8TpyYLRpEsH-x3XjrMKv3Ia2U-mUdtkwwXJclV8xpxe6mPRkmsC9avUK4OkoDqd086QyT-SUmjjti$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/call-for-abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!ZSOlewzcBHR8SCFTOdRlhVIaXrMDSQypj9ls48Bce3dUG-e3LgS1aTU1UPQghOaK2kinfjeSrQf--EGQ6Zqtzns$> We look forward to receiving your abstracts and seeing you in New Zealand!
