Volcano September 27th and 29th, 2017

Vila, Vanuatu
This was the 26th meeting of the working group,
dedicated to aspects of volcano seismology and interdisciplinary studies from a
wide range of volcanoes worldwide. This year, we focused on
Volcano Monitoring
in Developing Countries
with specific emphasis on
methods and techniques that may be applicable to these specific settings. Participants from the volcano-seismology community and other disciplines
joined us in Vanuatu, a country with several active volcanoes and a vibrant,
friendly population.
Venue:
The workshop was held at
the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department
(VMGD) with accommodation at the nearby Melanesian Hotel in Port Vila, the
capital and main port city in Vanuatu.
Fieldtrip to Tanna (Yasur volcano) September 27th through 29th,
2017:
Yasur volcano
Yasur volcano is located on Tanna
island which is a short flight from the capital. From Tanna
airport we travelled via 4WD to our accommodation at the base of the
volcano. We then reached Yasur walking, enjoying near field
observation of persistent small scale Strombolian eruptions.
