This two-day conference follows from the successful launch in 2004
of the UCL Johnston-Lavis Conferences in Volcanology. It will address
practical strategies for managing volcanic crises. It invites volcanologists
to discuss what they can do, decision makers to declare what they
need, and both communities to identify methods of combining the two
for improved responses to volcanic emergencies. The two days will
be divided into four sessions, with ample time for formal and informal
discussions, including extended poster sessions.
