The Devora Programme

Launched in 2008, the DEVORA Programme brings together researchers from across New Zealand and beyond to assess volcanic hazard and risk in Auckland. DEVORA researchers work with Auckland Emergency Management to incorporate findings into policy, and with lifelines organisations and businesses to improve their resilience to volcanic threats.

The lecture followed Jan's journey around the globe, the many research projects, doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers Jan has collaborated with.
