PA43C:
Volcanic Hazards: Translating Research and Monitoring into Improved Communication, Preparedness, and Response II Posters


Session ID#: 10172

Session Description:
Volcanoes present a variety of hazards on the local and global scale. During a volcanic crisis, people are faced with specific decisions based on the particular hazard they may be presented with.  These decisions are often based on a cost-benefit analysis weighted by the perception of risk and the perception of mitigating actions, which may vary depending on socio-economic and political factors.  Given a growing understanding of atmospheric and geologic processes resulting from advances in technology and scientific instrumentation, our ability to monitor, model and forecast volcanic events has dramatically improved in recent decades: progress which has strengthened inputs into the decision making process regarding societal impacts.  This session seeks to examine the interface between volcanic research and monitoring, and societal response before, during and after a volcanic eruption.
