IUGG XXIV General Assembly July 2-13, 2007 Perugia, Italy (S) - IASPEI - International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior JSW001 Oral Presentation 2395 Volcanic gases in subduction zones : Documentation of temperature measurements of the fumaroles at Vulcano island, Italy - a case study Mr. Eric Reiter none none INTRODUCTION Since a few years, Information Technology (IT) is more and more important in geosciences and especially in volcanology. A Geographical Information System (GIS) is a great way to organize and maintain your data for volcanology. GIS FOR VULCANO'S TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS The purpose of the project is to create an internet resource which saves time to all researchers as it will publish available and future temperature measurements of fumaroles. The base of the system consists of interactive digital maps. Each map is a layer of the system. Each layer represents data for a date of temperature measurements. The user can select in a menu one or more layers to be seen in the interface. The background of all layers is the geological map of Vulcano Island or an aerial photo of La Fossa crater. The temperature's evolution vs time can be seen too. During the same project, we develop an add-on for Google Earth allowing a nicer interface to locate the fumaroles vents. Llinks between the add-on and the web site exist to view the temperatures evolution of each fumarole. OUTLOOK OF THE PROJECT A version of the project is already on line. The add-on can be downloaded too. This program can be adapted for all volcanoes and a lot of kind of data (isotopic compositions, deformation, epicenters location, etc.). It will run on and off-line. So you can have it on CD-Rom with your own data to study them. An internet GIS can also be a source of information for the educated tourists and a base to train local guides.

Workshop<br />

Subduction zone related volcanism and hazard mitigation<br />

Convener : Prof. Sri Widiyantoro<br />

Many densely populated countries are situated along major subduction zones whose seismic and<br />

volcanic hazards may have severe consequences on the socio-economic conditions of these countries.<br />

The 2004 Sumatran great earthquake with its attendant devastating tsunami highlighted the need to<br />

study such areas in order to understand the nature of subduction processes and provide a coherent<br />

picture to understand its possible effects. Several eruptions occurred in the 20th century in developing<br />

countries located along subduction zones. Some of them have caused a large number of casualties and<br />

great damage to infrastructure. The symposium on "subduction zone related volcanism and hazard<br />

mitigation" is to bring together people working on volcanological studies along subduction zones and<br />

especially in volcanic hazard mitigation. Research on topics like: i) Volcano hazard mapping, ii)<br />

Mitigation strategies for subduction zone related hazards, iii) Development of integrated emergency<br />

plans to reduce risk in subduction zones, iv) General volcanological studies focused in improving<br />

volcanic hazard knowledge, and v) Integrated geophysical, geological and geochemical studies to<br />

improve volocanic hazard mitigation would be most welcome.
