Mitigating Volcanic Crises: Practical Solutions for the 21st Century
Tuesday 31 August - Thursday 02 September 2004
University College London
This three-day conference will address practical strategies for responding
to volcanic crises. Sessions will combine scientific, social and management
criteria to identify new methods for making short-term forecasts of
eruptions and of types of volcanic hazard, communicating the hazard to non-
specialists, and designing appropriate response plans, from defence
measures to evacuation.
Sessions
S1. Short-term forecasts of eruptions
S2. Emergency forecasts of the impact of volcanic hazards
S3. Effective communications between scientists and non-specialists
S4. Managing volcanic crises
S5. Design of mitigating strategies
