On March 19, 2014, our director, Ben Beeckmans, was invited to talk once more about volcanic risk, this time in Usa River, for a select public of the local (Arumeru-Arusha) authorities, headed by the Arumeru District Commissioner, Mr. Nyerembe Munasa.

This area is of course one of the main hazard areas of  Mt.meru and the authorities understand the need of monitoring this potentially dangerous volcano.  The aim is putting seismic stations on the volcano, before any disaster happens.

At Ecoscience we appreciate the interest of the local authorities, and hope they  will be successful in their endeavors!
