Letter(s) from
the President(s)
Dear
colleagues,
It is my
pleasure to invite you to participate, to the COV11 Conference, headed by the
Commission Cities On Volcanoes, that will be held in Heraklion, Crete (Greece),
from May 23th to May 27th, 2019. IAVCEI greatly acknowledges the organizing
efforts of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, in collaboration
with the University of Crete and its Natural History Museum, to invite the
international scientific community and decision makers dealing with volcanic
risks to participate in this COV11 conference entitled “Volcanoes and Society:
environment, health and hazards”. After several different countries (Italy, New
Zealand, USA, Ecuador, Japan, Spain, Mexico, Indonesia, Chile), Greece will
host for the first time this important COV Conference.
Crete island
is extremely famous in the Mediterranean for its beauty, its ancient history,
and its archeological remnants of the Minoan civilization. For volcanologists
it is also a special site that was dramatically impacted by the around 1627 BC
cataclysm of Santorini (Thera) volcano (VEI 6-7, 60 km3 of DRE magma). In
addition to visiting archeological treasures, the 2020 Heraklion Conference
will allow worldwide volcanologists and decision makers to exchange about the
up-to-date scientific advances in understanding how volcanoes work, how
forecasting their eruptions and how mitigating their environmental and societal
impacts. In addition to Santorini, a few other active volcanoes of the Hellenic
arc (Milos, Nisyros, Methana) are interesting targets for field excursions
related to the Conference.
Therefore,
IAVCEI strongly encourages your participation to the COV11 Conference in Crete
in May 2020 and acknowledges the organizing efforts undertaken by our Greek colleagues
and local authorities. We look forward to seeing you numerous in Heraklion!

Dear
Colleagues,
I am honored
to invite you to participate in the Cities on Volcanoes11 Conference, which
will take place in Heraklion city, in the island of Crete ( Greece), from 23rd
of May to 27th of May, 2019.
The Greek
Organizers, which are the Department of Geology and Geonvironment of the
National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, in collaboration with the Post
Graduate Programme of «Environmental, Disaster and Crisis Management
Strategies» ( EDCM) and the Natural History Museum ( University of Crete), with
a high sense of responsibility, organize the COV11 with the title «Volcanoes
and Society: environment, health and hazards» and anticipate to bring together
not only scientists worldwide but also the Civil Protection authorities,
concerning the volcanic risk. It will focus on multidisciplinary monitoring
volcanic environments in the vicinity of cities and highly touristic areas, the
ability to recognize the hazards and their impacts of people, community
education, case studies and risk mitigation to reduce the impacts of volcanism
and its effects on society.
We are happy
that Greece, one of the most touristic places in the world, with the beautiful
volcanoes of the Aegean Sea, will organize such an International Conference
about volcanoes. Very interesting and exciting field trips will take place
before, during and after the Conference in the islands of Santorini, Milos,
Nisyros and Methana peninsula (Hellenic Volcanic Arc) as well as in Knossos
Archaelogical site and Priloritis UNESCO Global geopark.
Crete is a
well-known island in the Mediterranean Sea, at the crossroads of three
continents, due to its friendly and warm people, amazing landscapes, delicious
food and famous archaeological site like Knossos. Heraklion city, the 4th
biggest city in Greece and birth city
of the famous artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, known as El Greco, has various
architectural styles, riche cultural life and magnificent weather.
Santorini
volcano is a unique scientific natural laboratory with a spectacular caldera.
The famous Minoan Plinian eruption, took place in the Late Bronze Age and its
impact was the decline of the Minoan Civilization. The last eruption of the
Kameni islands occurred in 1950, at the centre of the caldera.
We will be
delighted to host the participants from all over the world for a very fruitful
Conference. The Greek scientific and local community, look forward to seeing
you all in Heraklion.
