About VISG

 

The AELG has set up a volcanic impacts study group (VISG) to focus on research
into the impacts of volcanic hazards on lifelines.

VISG is a supporter of "Auckland: it's our volcano" (AIOV) which is an initiative that was set up in 2006 by scientists from the IESE and GNS Science to facilitate collaboration between all groups and organisations with research interests in the Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF).  Take this link to find out more www.auckland.ac.nz/aiov )
