After years of discussion, we are pleased to announce that the World Organisation of Volcano Observatories (WOVO) has been designated as a IAVCEI Network<\/strong>. The recently formed secretarial team includes Nobuo Geshi, Kyushu Uni, Alvaro Amigo and Alessandro Bonforte, with a chair (Nico Fournier, GNS Science). WOVO aims to connect, support and advocate for volcano monitoring institutions worldwide through three core programs: Volcano Observatory Best Practices (VOBP) workshops, WOVOdat, and Cross-disciplinary initiatives such as the Volcanic Ash and Aviation Hazards (VAAH) and early warnings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An initial Executive Leadership Team (ELT) was nominated by the IAVCEI Executive Committee to spearhead that rejuvenation effort over the next 4 years. The WOVO ELT currently consists of the leads of the three core programs, VOBP, WOVOdat (https:\/\/www.wovodat.org\/<\/a>) and VAAH, with the following primary points of contact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
VOBP<\/strong>: Laura Sandri (INGV) and Jake Lowenstern (USGS\/VDAP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
WOVOdat<\/strong>: Benoit Taisne and Christina Widiwijayanti (EOS\/ASE\/NTU)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
VAAH<\/strong>: Sara Barsotti (IMO)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Key priorities for the coming years will be developed by the WOVO ELT in consultation with the observatory community<\/strong>. In the meanwhile, we are currently updating the membership list and will soon onboard a few more volcano observatory colleagues from various parts of the world to ensure a comprehensive geographical representation in the ELT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The intent is to update and revamp parts the WOVO website and focus initially on key initiatives adding value to the observatory community in the short- and mid-term. Meetings will be organised around future conferences such as the 2025 IAVCEI Scientific Assembly in Geneva, with further VOBP workshops also being planned. The last VOBP5 workshop was successfully held in Púcon (Chile) in November 2023 (see: the report in the IAVCEI newsletter, Issue 4, December 2023)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are aiming at streamlining WOVO membership and communications over the next few months. So stay tuned for more updates. In the meanwhile, do not hesitate to get in touch and to drop us an email at wovo@iavceivolcano.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The WOVO ELT wants to thank all the previous leaders and committees for their unwavering support to the organisation, and everybody who has been involved in this rejuvenation effort over the years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
