Dear colleagues:

Allow me to introduce VUELCO, a project financed by the European 
Commission under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and 
Technological Development, Area “Environment”, Activity 6.1 “Climate 
Change, Pollution and Risks".

VUELCO:  Volcanic unrest in Europe and Latin America: Phenomenology, eruption precursors, hazard forecast, and risk mitigation

The prime objective of VUELCO is to significantly improve our 
understanding of the processes behind volcanic unrest and the ability to
 forecast its outcome aiding decision-making and management in an unrest
 situation. VUELCO intends to tackle these issues via an international 
multi-disciplinary consortium, combining fundamental research into 
causes and effects of volcanic unrest with uncertainty assessment and 
probabilistic forecasting to improve communication, decision-making and 
management during volcanic unrest.

Detailed information on this international consortium, objectives, 
activities and the first newsletter for download can be found on our 
 website at

www.vuelco.net/index.php

You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter by following the respective links from the index page.

On behalf of the VUELCO consortium with best wishes

Jo Gottsmann
Project co-ordinator
