Geodesists from 16 countries met in July to discuss the role of geodesy in earthquake and volcanic studies, natural hazard assessment, and disaster mitigation. The GENAH 2014 international symposium took place in Matsushima, Japan, a town that suffered greatly from the tsunami of 11 March 2011. The symposium featured sessions on seven topics: subduction zone earthquakes, the earthquake deformation cycle, near real‐time warning, the interaction between earthquakes and volcanoes, the impact of great earthquakes on reference frame, geodetic techniques in volcanological research, and natural hazards.
