4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Alana Weir <Alana.Weir@xxxxxxxx> Dear Volcano Digest Community, We would like to invite you to consider submitting an abstract to our session titled â??*Advances in volcanic impact and risk assessments: Dynamic and complex methods for dynamic and complex systems*â?? at the upcoming IAVCEI 2025 Scientific Assembly, 29 June â?? 4 July 2025, Geneva. The abstract submission deadline is 20 December 2024: https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!b86j4hsQ4_OY4oahT77c5blhGIfV5gjL8NKhoRmvevk2JtjjAiArL-eGLfO2nTz9_g-N14O6g58P5SN8w3C4v_T4Ug$> We encourage ECRs to apply for travel grants before 15 November 2024: https://sa2025.iavceivolcano.org/travel-grants/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sa2025.iavceivolcano.org/travel-grants/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!b86j4hsQ4_OY4oahT77c5blhGIfV5gjL8NKhoRmvevk2JtjjAiArL-eGLfO2nTz9_g-N14O6g58P5SN8w3CXMRuYYg$> Our understanding of volcanic impacts to surrounding communities, assets, and systems has increased substantially over recent decades. Emerging research is challenging the traditional view of volcanic impact and risk assessment by characterising dynamic, multi-hazard impact and risk across multiple vulnerability dimensions. This session will provide an opportunity to share novel quantitative and qualitative methodologies for the assessment of complex and dynamic volcanic impact and risk. We are particularly interested in approaches that explore cascading and systemic impacts and risk, longitudinal impacts, and co-production of tools and knowledge (including the weaving of indigenous understanding) to enhance volcanic risk management. This session will be comprised of presentations that focus on innovative volcanic impact and risk research, including examples of implementation in practice and policy. This will be followed by lightning talks that will open brief discussions identifying knowledge gaps and collaborative opportunities. We invite abstracts for talks and titles for lightning talks. *This session is sponsored by the IAVCEI Commissions on Cities and Volcanoes, Volcanic Hazards and Risk and Statistics in Volcanology.* CONVENERS Alana Weir (University of Geneva, CH) Heather Craig (University of Canterbury Te Whare WÄ?nanga o Waitaha, NZ) Pablo Salgado (El Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones CientÃficas y Técnicas (CONICET), AR) Eleanor Tennant (Nanyang Technological University, SG) Beth Bartel (United States Geological Survey, US) 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 ------------------------------
