COL Symposium 2007  Archive

This year the COL symposium will be devoted to

Geohazards in lakes

Saturday 17 November 2007, UniMail, University of Geneva, within the framework of the 5th Swiss Geosciences Meeting

Water, shorelines and subsurface of lakes are exposed to a variety of processs that often impose a series of geohazards. For this session, we invite contributions that investigate lakes and their links to natural and anthropogenically-induced hazards. Contributions might include environmental pollution studies, volcanic hazards in and around lakes, subaerial and subaquatic mass movements, biological changes and effects of water level changes and floods. The session will comprise six invited keynote speakers and posters. Studies of variable temporal and spatial scales are welcome, including reconstructions of past catastrophic events, ongoing processes, but also modelling studies and predictions of future threats.

Conveners: F. Anselmetti & D. Ariztegui
