Geohazards
Geohazards, such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions are an ever-increasing problem for the burgeoning global population. Earth scientists need to understand the processes that give rise to geohazards in order to contribute to their mitigation. Symposia and papers that relate to the understanding of geohazards and the search for ways to minimise their effects are invited for in this theme.
Please note that this is preliminary and final allocations in the programme will be announced in the 5th Announcement and updated on the Website in July.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PRESENTING AUTHORS (FOR ORALS) OR AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR (FOR POSTERS) MUST BE REGISTERED FOR THE MEETING BY 31 MAY 2016 IN ORDER TO HAVE THE ABSTRACT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAMME.
