Scope Hazards and Disaster Risk related to volcanoes (on volcanoes, triggered by volcanoes, but away from volcanoes, and related to other processes, but occurring on volcanoes) are numerous, and often pose serious threats to population living on volcanic flanks, attracted by fertile land, or constrained due to the lack of space, or a long tradition of living on the volcano. If you work on sector collapses, pyroclastic flows, lahars, volcanic landslides, the impacts of volcanoes on surrounding land, volcanoes and climate change, communities on volcanoes, practices and culture of volcanoes related to disaster risk... this session is for you.
