- Supported in the presentation. “Bringing Volcanoes to the Museum: Archiving Volcanic Deposits with Epoxy Resin. An Example in Arequipa, Peru.”
The major outcomes of the research included:
- Establishing meaningful connections with Geoscientists the other countries to develop projects related to geological heritage and disaster risk management.
- Developing new leadership skills to work with communities living in the vicinity of study areas.
- Acquiring new knowledge in the field of geological heritage in volcanic zones.
-Participation in the organization of the -Explanation of the poster “Ubinas Activity in 2023.”
