We here invite contributions highlighting the i) most recent advances in volcanic hazard assessment, both on recently active volcanic systems and on volcanoes with long lasting quiescence periods and ii) exploring the influence of educational strategies and, specifically, the role of Earth Science Museums and targeted research programmes including educational initiatives in modifying the adaptive response to, as well as the recovery of populations from volcanic disasters.
The purpose of the session is to discuss the contributions of new methodological and technological advances and the results arising from the integration of well-established methodologies, which have permitted major advances in the assessment of volcanic hazard in specific sites and to highlight both positive and negative impact of educational programs on preparedness, response, and overall influence on vulnerability.
The session will include studies presenting a critical analysis of the sources of uncertainty in volcanic hazard assessment and offering an integrated quantification of the multihazards associated with volcanic activity.
