For a summary of the session in English, please see below. Si está trabajando en el ámbito de la amenaza volcánica en América Latina, por favor considere enviar su contribución, sea presentación oral o póster, antes del 6 de octubre de 2023: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavceivolcano2023/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!dt-qS6TqX-rCCEAQqgeVGYpbbPJ_olOOdkoOPED4ZODACsVHbjso09g5XplcIWYmJFGqJUnc4nqv5c4o$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavceivolcano2023/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!bRmOpzqcYp60rYBtSus10vtOb9ybtnkTaNce3tETKa_KvVQihNqeWIsDlJ5bi_JIFlcqIrLFrccdz4k$> La sesión contará también con un panel de discusión en el que se explorarán, de forma conjunta, posibles direcciones futuras en el ámbito. ¡Esperamos encontrarlas/los numeros@s en Antigua Guatemala! Con nuestros mejores deseos, Roberto, Amilcar, MarÃa Luisa, Marco, Daniel, Ã?lvaro, Lucia, Heather, Jeremy and Pablo *Hazard Assessment for Latin American Volcanoes: Innovations in Practice and Opportunities for Knowledge Transfer* The aim of this session is to share knowledge and compare and contrast different approaches to hazard assessment for Latin American volcanoes. We welcome contributions that span a range of approaches (e.g. inventory-based, scenario-based, probabilistic) and timescales (e.g. short-term emergency response, long-term planning). These will help highlight specific data requirements and examples of different methods that have been successfully applied to Latin American volcanoes, such as data collection during the eruption and/or mapping of eruptive products, Geographic Information System analyses, application of physics-based or statistical models (e.g. event trees), and lessons learned from their application. We also welcome contributions that provide insight into the relationship between volcanic hazard assessment and operational risk management, local, regional and national risk management and governance, and examples of the combination of established or innovative scientific approaches to hazard assessment with community or indigenous knowledges for both enhancement of hazard knowledge and risk mitigation planning. The session will include a group discussion that aims to surface the following issues: What are the challenges of making volcanic hazard assessments in Latin America? What opportunities are there for knowledge and data exchange (e.g. via analogues volcanoes) across Latin America, and with other volcanic regions, globally? How can knowledge and experiences be most efficiently shared between operational (e.g. volcano observatories) and academic institutions? 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
