Project ANR 

The CASAVA project offered a fundamental research strategy leading to a quantitative assessment of volcanic risk that takes into account the socio-cultural and territorial dimension by focusing on the volcanoes of Soufrière in Guadeloupe and Montagne Pelée in Martinique. CASAVA was a multi-disciplinary research project of broad scope that included Earth sciences, mathematical simulation of phenomena, physical geography and analysis of territorial and institutional vulnerabilities, social sciences and study of socio-cultural and human vulnerability, pre-Colombian archaeology, legal sciences, probabilistic risk analysis and decision support, institutional risk management policies, the role of the CatNat protection system in risk management, and applied mathematics and artificial intelligence for the dynamic simulation of eruptive scenarios, their impact on the territory and the behavioural modelling of populations.

PARTNERS:

Results obtained:

  • research on a disaster model allowing to inject into the simulation results of external simulations (here the pyroclastic cloud and attrition model)

  • research on a population model to model population flows during mass evacuations

  • models of population behaviour based on sociological research

  • sample assignments for public safety officers
