The UCL Johnston-Lavis Conference 2006
Managing Volcanic Crises:
Effective Integration of Science, Policy and Practice
Thursday 20 April - Friday 21 April 2006
University College London
This two-day conference follows from the successful launch in 2004 of the UCL Johnston-Lavis Conferences in Volcanology. It will address practical strategies for managing volcanic crises. It invites volcanologists to discuss what they can do, decision makers to declare what they need, and both communities to identify methods of combining the two for improved responses to volcanic emergencies. The two days will be divided into four sessions, with ample time for formal and informal discussions, including extended poster sessions.
Organising Committee: Christopher Kilburn1, Tom Mitchell1,2, Andrew Bell1, Megan Davies2.
