There were 44 participants from 14 countries (Belgium 2, Costa Rica 1, France 2, Germany 1, Indonesia 1, Italy 5, New Zealand 1, Nicaragua 1, Mexico 1, Russia 1, Spain 1, Taiwan 1, USA 5, Japan 21) and 24 papers were presented.

The statistics of the participation for the last seven Workshops are:

 

1) Scientific Program

a) Collection of volcanic gases

Two fumaroles at Satsuma-Iwojima and one at Kuju volcano were selected to be sampled by the participants. The participants will report detailed description of their techniques, sampling conditions and analytical results of these samples after the workshop. 16 groups participated the intercomparison program, and eleven groups reported the results. Control samples of acid and alkaline condensate were distributed to evaluate analytical errors. See Analytical results of the samples collected during the 7th workshop for more in detail.

b) Oral presentation

Twenty-four oral presentations of scientific papers on geochemical monitoring of volcanoes, volcanic gas chemistry, volatile emission from the earth and other related topics were given during the workshop. Look at the Titles and authors of the abstracts presented during the workshop.

2) Business Meeting

3) Workshop Schedule
