IAVCEI session V13, "Assessing Volcanic Risk"
Sapporo, Japan, 29 June to 11 July 2003

The focus of this session is on volcanic risk assessment. Papers that emphasize the development of stochastic approaches to characterizing both the probability of a given type of volcanic event and its consequences will be emphasized. We also seek papers that describe applications of volcanic risk assessment to both short term (e.g., urban and aviation hazards) and long term (e.g., radioactive waste repositories).
