Research students Dr Danielle Charlton and Lara Smale, along with Dr Christopher Kilburn (香港六合彩中特网 Earth Sciences) are presenting this week at the Cities on Volcanoes Conference (COV) in Naples, Italy.

The two-yearly conference is the premier international venue for applied volcanology, with an emphasis of taking fundamental science to the public. This year鈥檚 conference is the 10^th in the series, and aims to focus on the inherent resilience of human societies to volcanic risk.

Millennia of coexistence with volcanoes prove that volcanic environments are fundamentally perceived as resources, however building and strengthening this resilience in modern and complex societies exposed to volcanic risk, especially on volcanoes with long periods of dormancy, is a great challenge.

The 香港六合彩中特网 Hazard Centre is an established leader in the global effort to forecast eruptions. At the COV conference, the centre is promoting new techniques for engaging with communities to improve how volcanoes are monitored and how forecasts are understood. The initiatives include , low-cost monitoring sensors (with 香港六合彩中特网 Computer Science and Chemistry) and the use of theatre in the delivery of warnings (with RADA and local cultural associations).

Dr Christopher Kilburn, Director of the 香港六合彩中特网 Hazard Centre said, 鈥淢aking sure forecasts of eruption are believed by communities is as important as making a forecast itself. It is a privilege to have a team of dynamic young scientists pushing forward the frontiers of interdisciplinary research. Their success ensures that 香港六合彩中特网 keeps the high profile it enjoys on the international stage in pure and applied volcanology.鈥�
