The first session occupies the first two days of the week and includes the 4 symposia: I, II, IV-B & VII. Poster session 2 is scheduled for Thursday and Friday and includes the 5 symposia: III, IV-A, V, VI & VIII. The poster area will be open and available for viewing for the entire two days allotted for each session. Symposia: I = Lahars; II = Ash; IV-B = Monitoring; VII = Health Please place your poster in its designated spot on Monday morning and remove it after this session's closing on Tuesday afternoon at 6 pm. This assures that your poster will be seen during its two days of continual exposure. There will be two areas for poster exhibition. Symposia IV-B (Monitoring) and SVII-Health will exhibit posters on appropriate stands in the corridors of the groundlevel patio (about 125 posters) Symposia I & II will exhibit posters in the upper corridors of the convent-- the next floor up from the patio; (about 65 posters) You will be provided with the implements to hang your poster. Under no circumstances can you paste your poster with tape to the convent wall!! Please be respectful of the artwork hanging on the convent walls. You are encouraged to remain beside your poster for the first hour of each respective session-- for question/answer and discussion-- during the two designated poster times, Monday and Tuesday afternoons, respectively. Please remember, if possible, to provide small paper copies of your poster for hand-outs. Enjoy the poster sessions!!

However, several further, extra-Andean paramos exist, of which a particular case is situated on the active volcano Sumaco, in the northwestern Amazon Basin of Ecuador. We have set an elevational gradient of 600 m (3200–3800 m a.s.l.) and sampled a total of 21 vegetation plots, using the phytosociological method. All vascular plants encountered were typified by their taxonomy, life form and phytogeographic origin. In order to determine if plots may be ensembled into vegetation units and understand what the main environmental factors shaping this pattern are, a non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis was performed.

Manuscript Details Manuscript number JQSR_2019_21 Title MULTIPLE SOURCES FOR TEPHRA FROM AD 1259 VOLCANIC SIGNAL IN ANTARCTIC ICE CORES Abstract Strong volcanic signals simultaneously recorded in polar ice sheets are commonly assigned to major low-latitude eruptions that dispersed large quantities of aerosols in the global atmosphere with the potential of inducing climate perturbations. Parent eruptions responsible for specific events are typically deduced from matching to a known volcanic eruption having coincidental date. However, more robust source linkage can be achieved only through geochemical characterisation of the airborne volcanic glass products (tephra) sometimes preserved in the polar strata.

The review is structured around local and global impacts of volcanic eruptions, which have not been widely discussed in the literature, in terms of DRR issues.

  • 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. About Ecuador
    2nd Meeting of the ITU Centres of Excellence (CoE) Steering Committee for the Americas Region From 11 to 12 December 2019 Quito, Ecuador 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. About Ecuador: Ecuador is the second smallest country in South America. Nevertheless, it has a diversity of landscapes to explore. The Pacific Coast stretches along the western edge of Ecuador, while the Highlands or the "Sierra" is centralized in the country, stretching all the way from the North to the South. The East is mainly composed of Amazonian rainforest; and, the "Island Region" contains the Galapagos Islands, volcanic islands located in the Pacific Ocean about 960 kilometres from the Ecuadorian coast. The unique wildlife located in the archipelago inspired the British naturalist Charles Darwin in the development of the theory of evolution. Due to the proximity of the country with the Equator and its geographic diversity, Ecuador is an ideal destination for lovers of nature, orchids and exotic birds and jungle plants, strange insects, wastelands hit by the wind, tropical forests and intrepid animals. Due to the proximity of the country with the Equator and its geographic diversity, Ecuador is an ideal destination for nature lovers, with orchids and exotic birds, jungle plants and strange insects, moorlands hit by the wind, tropical forests and intrepid animals. In addition to the natural richness, Ecuador has a recognized cultural heritage deriving mainly from the traditions and history of their diverse peoples and nationalities, an integral part of this Andean country. As a result of its small size (256.370 square kilometres), all its regions can be easily visited in a short period of time.

Krippner, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2017 Pyroclastic density currents are volcanic granular flows that include dome collapse-derived block-and-ash flows, and column collapse-derived pyroclastic flows. Volcanic dome-building cycles can last for years and can produce numerous collapse events that deposit block-and-ash flows up to 19 km from the dome. These impact surrounding communities and too-often result in fatalities, and populations have to be evacuated. Shiveluch in Kamchatka, Russia, is one of the world’s most active dome-building volcanoes and has produced some of the largest historical block-and-ash flows, globally.

Scienze della Terra, Univ. di Pisa, Via Santa Maria 53, 56126 Pisa, Italy Abstract A geochemical survey carried out in November 1993 revealed that Lake Quilotoa was composed by a thin (,14 m) oxic epilimnion overlying a ,200 m-thick anoxic hypolimnion. Dissolved CO2 concentrations reached 1000 mg/kg in the lower stratum. Loss of CO2 from epilimnetic waters, followed by calcite precipitation and a consequent lowering in density, was the apparent cause of the stratification. The Cl, SO4 and HCO3 contents of Lake Quilotoa are intermediate between those of acid–SO4–Cl Crater lakes and those of neutral-HCO3 Crater lakes, indicating that Lake Quilotoa has a ‘memory’ of the inflow and absorption of HC1- and S-bearing volcanic (magmatic) gases. The Mg/Ca ratios of the lake waters are governed by dissolution of local volcanic rocks or magmas, but K/Na ratios were likely modified by precipitation of alunite, a typical mineral in acid–SO4–Cl Crater lakes. The constant concentrations of several conservative chemical species from lake surface to lake bottom suggest that physical, chemical and biological processes did not have enough time, after the last overturn, to cause significant changes in the contents of these chemical species.
