Volcanic hazards pose significant threats to communities and environments, necessitating robust and accurate assessments to inform risk mitigation strategies. These methods are essential to capturing the complex and dynamic nature of volcanic systems, which are characterized by significant variability and uncertainty. In this regard, understanding and predicting volcanic phenomena requires a comprehensive approach that integrates observations, field measurements, and advanced modelling techniques.
This session seeks to bring together contributions that focus on the quantification of the natural variability of the volcanic activity. Contributions that propose combination of field data, novel methodologies, innovative uses of technology, and new physical and statistical modelling approaches will be particularly encouraged. By fostering discussions and sharing insights, we aim to drive forward the development of more comprehensive and integrated approaches to volcanic hazard assessment and risk mitigation.
