The IAVCEI 2021 Scientific Assembly will be hosted at Rotorua within the volcanically active Taupo Volcanic Zone. Scientific sessions will provide a close tie between its volcanic landscapes and processes and the latest advances in research.

  5. Evaluating and communicating volcanic hazards and risks
  6. Monitoring: developing new approaches and novel applications of existing technologies
  7. Volcanoes, energy, resources and the environment
  8. Volcanoes and society: from indigenous peoples to a multicultural world
