Thread: AGU 2019 session: Glaciovolcanism: Recent Advances in Understanding the Interaction of Glaciers and Volcanoes

Dear colleagues,

Apologies for cross-posting. We would like to invite abstract submissions to the 2019 AGU Fall Meeting session entitled ‘Glaciovolcanism: Recent Advances in Understanding the Interaction of Glaciers and Volcanoes’. We are looking for contributions that explore this topic from a variety of perspectives, including geophysical studies, experimental and numerical simulations, field studies, geochemical studies, and others. Please see below for more details of the session:

V023 - Glaciovolcanism: Recent Advances in Understanding the Interaction of Glaciers and Volcanoes

Conveners: Oliver Lamb (UNC at Chapel Hill), Eva Eibl (University of Potsdam), Benjamin Edwards (Dickinson College), Alison Graettinger (University of Missouri-Kansas City)

Ice-capped volcanoes can be found all over the Earth as well as on extra-terrestrial bodies. Interactions between glaciers and volcanoes have generated a wide range of hazards, including lava flows, ash plumes, pyroclastic density currents, lahars, and glacial outburst floods. However, these interactions remain poorly understood due to the remoteness of glacio-volcanic regions. Thus, there is a present need for an integrative session to stimulate the discussion of processes and implications of volcano-ice interactions. We invite contributions that include new observations and interpretations from studies of current, recent and past glaciovolcanism on Earth and other planetary bodies. Research from a wide spectrum of fields will be welcome, including but not limited to: hazard mitigation, geophysical studies, experimental and numerical simulations, field outcrop studies, and remote sensing observations.

We look forward to meeting many of you in San Francisco in December.

Best regards,
Oliver Lamb, Eva Eibl, Benjamin Edwards, Alison Graettinger
