The DEVORA Research Forum was held at the University of Auckland on 12 November. The Forum gives scientists and stakeholders (emergency planners, representatives from lifelines: power, telecommunications, water treatment, etc.) a chance to build and strengthen relationships that will be relied upon in a volcanic crisis. Meetings like these play an important role in keeping everyone up to date on current research and recent findings, as well as allowing stakeholders to communicate their needs to scientists.
The day was a success, with 22 presentations by DEVORA researchers. A huge thank you to all of our presenters. Photos from the day can be found on the DEVORA Facebook page.
