With the theme “From the 2010s to the 2020s and beyond: Managing and mitigating volcanic risks to aviation with an explosion of science”, the workshop addressed aviation industry needs, recent developments as well as upcoming challenges and opportunities for volcano observatories and meteorological services, and the next-generation of volcanic hazard services for aviation.
The IWVA-8 recommendations and statement endorsed at EC-78 help chart a path for scientific improvement within the international airways volcano watch over this decade and beyond. These outcomes plus copies of all oral and poster presentations are accessible on the IWVA-8 homepage.
Multilingual versions of the IWVA-8 Recommendations and Statement are available in: English | French | Spanish | Russian | Chinese | Arabic
