Mobility Fund

In addition to Nélida’s work on the Arequipa project, she was also independently awarded a Mobility Fund to undertake further research. Thanks to the IF Mobility Fund Nélida:

  • Presented two posters, one about the latest eruption of Ubinas and the other about the Añashuayco geosite in Arequipa.  
  • Conducted two oral presentations on the participation of young Latin American volcanologists and the presentation of the video “Nina y el Origen del Sillar.”  
  • Participated in the organization of the workshop “IV Encuentro de Jóvenes Volcanólogos Latinoamericanos (JVLA)” and the session “Fair science, equitable and inclusive communities: commemorative session to Martha Navarro Collado.”  
  • Participated in the workshops “Sharing lessons from working alongside communities at risk from volcanic eruptions: where are we now and how can we improve” and “Experiences in preparing for and responding to the health impacts of volcanic eruptions in Latin America: Story sharing and information exchange.” 
  • 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.
