2009 2009 Probabilistic Hazard Workshop The first Probabilistic Hazard workshop took place on 23 October 2009 in the Clock Tower at the University of Auckland.  Fifteen members from The University of Auckland, IESE, Massey University, National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), Beca, GNS Science, and Market Economics attended to discuss hazard and risk models for monogenetic volcanic fields.  The group will convene for updates each year, possibly in conjunction with the annual DEVORA forum. 2009 DEVORA Research Forum The 2nd annual Research Forum took place on 6 November 2009 in the Design Theatre at the Conference Centre at the University of Auckland.  This year DEVORA joined forces with a FRST-IIOF group from Massey University studying Jeju Island in South Korea (an analogue monogenetic field), and with VISG, part of the Auckland Engineering Lifelines Group.  Please see below for the programme and contents of the presentations.  DEVORA/IIOF/VISG 2009 Programme Dating Auckland's Volcanoes--Jan Lindsay and Graham Leonard Magmatic processes in the Auckland Volcanic Field--Lucy McGee Insights into the Korean Jeju monogenetic basaltic plumbing system and implications for the Auckland Volcanic Field--Marco Brenna Structural controls on monogenetic basalatic volcanism and implications for the Auckland Volcanic Field--Nicolas Le Corvec Evaluating tephrochronology in the Auckland Volcanic Field for cryptotephra studies--Aleksandra Zawalna-Geer External control and style of magma fragmentation of phreatomagmatic explosive eruptions and implications for understanding Auckland's volcanoes--Károly Németh Eruption (re-)ordering and clustering in Auckland Volcanic Field, New Zealand--Mark Bebbington and Shane Cronin Applying probabilistic eruption forecasting methodologies between volcanoes--Armando Rodado GIS-based Mass Evacuation Planning for the Auckland Volcanic Field--Erik Tomsen Review of risk and social data for the Auckland Volcanic Field--Michele Daly Combining probabilistic hazard assessment results with cost-benefit analysis to aid decision making in a volcanic crisis--Laura Sandri  Update on critical building and infrastructure inventories for Auckland--Michele Daly 2008 2008 DEVORA Research Forum and VISG Seminar The inaugural DEVORA Research Forum took place immediately following the annual Volcanic Impacts Study Group (VISG) Seminar on 7 November 2008, in the Old Government House at the University of Auckland.  Please see below for the contents of the presentations.  VISG 2008 Programme Introduction to DEVORA--Jan Lindsay and Gill Jolly New insights into magma sources and the explosion craters of the Auckland Volcanic Field--Ian Smith and Károly Németh The age of volcanoes of the Auckland Volcanic Field--Graham Leonard Frequency and magnitude of local and distal eruptions affecting Auckland--Phil Shane Lessons from analogue volcanoes: The Jeju Volcanic Field, Korea--Shane Cronin Application of an eruption forecasting model during Exercise Ruaumoko--Jan Lindsay Volcanic risk and vulnerability in Auckland--Michele Daly   Back to the DEVORA homepage.
