1st Conference of the 2014-15 Fogo eruption, Cabo VerdeThe “2015 Fogo Conference” is an international meeting on Oceanic Island Volcanoes & Society for commemorating the 1st anniversary of the 2014-15 Fogo eruption.
Scientific and technical discussions will be related to the volcanic risk management on oceanic and active island volcanoes as well as to enhance the know-how exchange to better understand and improve the multi-disciplinary initiatives in reducing volcanic risk in islands.
A special session on the international conference will be related to the 2014-2015 Fogo eruption and its impact on the island community. The “2015 Fogo Conference” will also be an ideal forum to discuss about living in active volcanoes (from a favorable perspective) since the short-term hazards posed by volcanoes are strongly balanced by benefits of volcanism over geologic time (volcano tourism, geothermal energy, etc.).
