We welcome further 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. Details of the symposium and
abstract submission procedures can be found at
http://www.iugg2007perugia.it/ The final deadline for electronic
submission of abstracts is 28 February 2007. Arrangements will
be made to publish selected papers from the workshop in a
journal special issue.
The session outline follows:
Session JVS003: Ice -Volcano Interactions
Sponsoring Association: IAVCEI in collaboration with: IAHS,
UCCS and 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.
