We welcome contributions to the forthcoming session on ‘Ice-Volcano Interactions’ within
the Cryospheric Programme of the IUGG General Assembly, taking place on 9 - 13
July 2007, in Perugia, Italy.
See http://www.iugg2007perugia.it/ for details and abstract submission procedures.
The deadline for electronic submission of abstracts is 31 January 2007. There will be
the opportunity for papers to be published in a special volume of an international journal.
Session JVS003: Ice -Volcano Interactions
Sponsoring Association: IAVCEI in collaboration with: IAHS, UCCS, IGS
There are many important interactions between volcanism and glaciation, operating
at different levels and over a wide range of timescales. In several regions of the world
volcanoes generate the elevation necessary for glaciers and snow covers to form,
while the deposition of pyroclastic material and eruptive and geothermal activity impact
directly on glacier mass balance. On the other hand, expansion and contraction of glaciers
over millennia and the release of meltwater during deglaciation can influence eruptive
activity through the overburden pressure release and infiltration of water into the volcanic system. Catastrophic floods may be generated by subglacial eruptions and geothermal activity in the form of lahars and jökulhlaups, while landform evidence from moraines and flood and tephra deposits can provide important information on past glacier extent and the interactions between glacier fluctuations and eruptive activity. This session welcomes contributions on any aspect of ice-volcano interactions on Earth or on other bodies in the solar system, including results from field, remote sensing and modelling studies. The aim is to provide a forum for exchange of knowledge and ideas, particularly between scientists form different disciplines, and to encourage future collaborative research into these complex and challenging systems.
