Holocene eruption history, hazards, and cultural heritage in the area of Volc\u00e1n de Atitl\u00e1n, Guatemala<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In this field trip, we will revise the eruption history and hazards that Volc\u00e1n de Atitl\u00e1n \u2013 the largest active andesitic stratovolcano in the Atitl\u00e1n lake and caldera \u2013 can generate; and recognize the relevance of integrating local tradition and culture in assessing vulnerability and risk in Latinamerica. The participants will (i) examine lava flow, fall and pyroclastic density current deposits produced by Holocene to historic eruptions, (ii) visit the 2005 Panabaj lahar disaster area, associated with Hurricane Stan, (iii) climb to the summit of Volc\u00e1n de Atitl\u00e1n for catching the entire view of the Atitl\u00e1n lake and caldera whilst having Acatenango, Fuego and Santa Mar\u00eda volcanoes visible in the background in clear days; and (iv) visit Volc\u00e1n de Atitl\u00e1n\u2019s cloud forest, look for Guatemala\u2019s national bird the Quetzal, and witness the melded Mayan, Nahuatl and Catholic culture in the town of Santiago de Atitl\u00e1n.<\/p>\r\n
