Information - NH3.1 Volcanic Hazard Assessment and Risk Quantification (co-listed in GMPV)
Event Information
Geophysical and geochemical signals at dormant volcanoes must be evaluated as potential precursors to reawakening and impending eruption. There are several recent examples of volcanic re-activation after long repose intervals culminating in explosive eruption, but non-eruptive behavior is equally documented in a number of cases. The dilemma scientists are confronted with is how to assess future behavior and to forecast the likelihood of an eruption at a reawakening volcano, when critical data from previous activity is missing. The aim of this session is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas concerning scientific criteria for the assessment of reawakening volcanoes for hazard assessment and risk mitigation.
