Directions to UCL
Thursday 20 April - Friday 21 April 2006 University College London
     
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.
