SUMMARY:“Volcanoes…on borders” - Prof Amy Donovan (Dept of Geography

DESCRIPTION:<p>This talk will reflect on some of the challenges of working
  across difficult international borders on active volcanoes. It will focus
  in particular on Paektusan (Changbaishan) on the border between China and
  the DPRK (North Korea). This active volcano hosts a summit caldera with a
  lake\, across which the international border runs\, with about 1/3 of the
  edifice being in DPRK. With colleagues in both countries\, we have been w
 orking on a project to try to understand better the past eruptive activity
  of the volcano. While a lot of work has been published on the Chinese sid
 e\, there is very little from the Korean side\, and yet some of the most s
 ubstantial deposits are there. There are also important questions about th
 e tectonic origins of the volcanism. This presentation will focus on the e
 ruptive products and efforts to reconstruct the most recent activity\, but
  will also draw on some of the complexities of working in borderlands more
  generally\, particularly for volcano monitoring.</p>
