Third International Geohazards Workshop, 6-9 November 2007, Frascati, Rome, Italy
The 3rd International Geohazards Workshop aims at strengthening an international strategy to make these concepts real, for the benefit of populations exposed to geohazards, namely earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and tsunamis. Objectives of the workshop are to (i) simulate dedicated coordinating actions to improve the existing observing systems, monitoring capabilities, access to data, and exchange of knowledge with the countries exposed to geohazards; (ii) set up an international coordination mechanism, within the GEO process, to streamline cooperation and synergies between international projects, initiatives, and programs; and (iii) provide a forum for exchange and encourage cooperation between Geohazards Earth Observation data users and producers.

IUGG and the GeoRisk Commission were invited to contribute to the meeting. The Commission proposed two speakers for the workshop: P. Dunbar and C. Weaver (“US states and territories national tsunami hazard assessment: Historic record and sources for waves”) and R. Singh et al. (“Multi Sensor Geophysical Parameters for the Early Warning of Earthquakes”).
