• Risk analysis for dam safety under sparse, imprecise or partially withheld data
• Mapping and managing distributed high-consequence risks
• Disclosure responsibilities for facility owners, operators and regulators
• Environmental justice and multistakeholder governance in the Global South
• Quantifying unexpected risks due to fracking (e.g., pollution and induced seismicity)

The format is a distributed workshop where invited and proffering speakers make oral and visual presentations lasting between 20 and 40 minutes, followed by questions and general discussion. The agenda will include both technical lectures and presentations of test cases to facilitate practical review.

The languages of the event are English, Portuguese and Spanish. We are exploring options for translation using live simultaneous translation or automatically translated subtitles.

• How can risks of extraction operations be estimated from sparse or incomplete data?
• Can new remote sensing technologies be used to gauge risk of dam failures?
• What disclosure obligations do mine operators owe worker & resident communities?
• How do social power dynamics play in allocating risks among stakeholders?
• What should government regulators require from the regulated industries?
• How can risks to humans and the environment be integrated?
• How should regulators communicate risks to the public?
• What does power or weakness of the public sector imply in the Global South?
• How should distributed risks from pollution or fracking be managed?
• What does environmental change imply for safe operations management?
