Science at the policy interface: volcano-monitoring technologies and volcanic hazard management
This paper discusses results from a survey of volcanologists carried out on the Volcano Listserv during late 2008 and early 2009. In particular, it examines the status of volcano monitoring technologies and their relative perceived value at persistently and potentially active volcanoes. It also examines the role of different types of knowledge in hazard assessment on active volcanoes, as report...
متن کاملPerception of a chronic volcanic hazard: persistent degassing at Masaya volcano, Nicaragua
This study takes a combined qualitative and quantitative approach to examining the chronic hazard posed by persistent degassing at Masaya volcano, Nicaragua. The gas is a highly salient threat in communities surrounding Masaya volcano, with the elevated salience level of his invisible hazard deriving from the highly perceptible impacts of the degassing; these include individual and material imp...
متن کاملRemote Sensing Observations for Volcano Monitoring and Hazard Mitigation
Volcanic eruptions are spectacular but dangerous phenomena to study on-site, and they present many challenges because of the diversity of activity and their remote locations. Indeed, the tragic loss of life at Galeras and Mt. Unzen volcanoes in the early 1990s illustrates the dangers associated with studying active volcanoes at close quarters. However, much progress has been made in volcano rem...
متن کاملExploring the Science-Policy Interface
The sacking of David Nutt from his position as Chair of a UK government science advisory council has thrown the interface between science and policy into sharp relief. Justine Davies takes a look behind the scenes.
متن کاملHealth Policy and Management: In Praise of Political Science; Comment on “On Health Policy and Management (HPAM): Mind the Theory-Policy Practice Gap”
Health systems have entered a third era embracing whole systems thinking and posing complex policy and management challenges. Understanding how such systems work and agreeing what needs to be put in place to enable them to undergo effective and sustainable change are more pressing issues than ever for policy-makers. The theory-policy-practice-gap and its four dimensions, as articulated by Chini...
