Shrinking, Sinking, Resurfacing: Small Islands and Natural Hazards in Historical and Current Perspectives
RCC Workshop
Deadline: 15 May 2012
This workshop aims to look at the complex problem that natural hazards have posed—and still pose—on small islands in a more nuanced way. Thus, we are seeking proposals covering a range of interconnected historical topics, as well as current topics with a strong historical component, and which deal with any landform within the world’s oceans, seas, and waterways, including oceanic islands, river islands, char (is)lands, sunken islands, resurfaced islands, etc. For more information, please visit the event page.
