The abstract deadline is 2 September 2022, so please submit your abstracts as soon as possible at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/call-for-abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!fU--iIuv0UzYRaD-rFvvxCBo6KGks-UM_yBDCH62f_6ABYrZvGNP0nYWed0dJ4WOqFPvqiYNWNeHJmMI$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/call-for-abstracts?fbclid=IwAR1TG48L01kthl7wmMvQZZYFrcXodnHbChHKxKDOS9d3AbLJ-XwyOt5WqZ8__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YYuyx0nqDspbfgYgtGIEUthH3MwFESzz1fj-I3ToADNb31Pgc5IG8-8Z1Yn0y8xmHfRZlO5VMzPhKq8mfuz834-XCgmS$> The full session description is: Volcanic eruptions pose a considerable threat to the wellbeing and livelihoods of communities living near active volcanoes. Notably, a range of human health conditions may arise from exposure to eruptive and passive degassing, ashfall, and resuspension of deposited material, particularly since ash and gases can be transported over great distances. Human physical health can also be affected in various ways, including fatalities and injuries from pyroclastic flows/surges, lava flows and ballistic projectiles, whereas exposure to fine-grained ash and gases can exacerbate or potentially induce respiratory diseases and symptoms, and cause eye and skin irritation. Other, more indirect, effects include contamination of water supplies and loss of crops, and psychological distress related to the eruption crisis. New Zealand has a number of active volcanoes and volcanic fields, which have the potential for eruption in the foreseeable future. Consideration of such hazards, and those from geothermal fields such as the Rotorua Geothermal Field, are of importance because of their potential impact on population health and the overall economy of New Zealand. Co-ordinated, multi-disciplinary efforts are needed to assess and successfully prepare for health hazards associated with volcanic phenomena, and to provide timely advice to anxious populations and emergency managers during volcanic crises. In this session, we welcome submission of abstracts from a broad range of disciplines relating to human health in volcanic areas, including: i) community exposure and protection, ii) health hazard and impact assessment (mineralogical, toxicological, clinical and epidemiological studies), iii) air and water quality monitoring and forecasting, iv) risk assessment and hazard management, including modelling studies predicting health impacts from future eruptions, v) community preparedness and response to volcanic eruptions.
