******************************************************* From: Charlotte Rowe <char@xxxxxxxx> ******************************************************* Dear colleagues: We would like to draw your attention to a special volcano monitoring session being convened at the 2009 Seismological Society of America annual meeting. The meeting will be held 8-10 April, at the Portola Hotel & Spa in Monterey, California. Please note the abstract submission deadline is 11 January. You can visit the meeting website, http://www.seismosoc.org/meetings/2009/index.php for more details. Our session announcement is outlined below. We hope you'll consider contributing to the session and joining us in Monterey! Best regards, Charlotte Rowe Seth Moran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volcano Monitoring Using Seismology and Complementary Methods The field of volcano seismology increasingly faces a dual challenge. On the one hand, volcano observatories are increasingly using data from multiple monitoring fields (seismology, geodesy, gas geochemistry, remote sensing, hydrology, and others), often collected in real time, to achieve a broader understanding and reduce uncertainty in the interpretation of precursory and eruptive phenomena. To take full advantage of such datasets, new analytical programs, graphical user interfaces, and databases are needed for integrating, displaying, and modeling such multiparametric and large datasets. On the other hand, it is still the case that the majority of volcanoes around the world are monitored by just a handful of seismometers. Thus it is also paramount that progress be made in analyzing and modeling such instrument-poor datasets. We invite contributions on any aspect of volcano monitoring, but encourage those that focus either on analyzing multi-parametric datasets or on squeezing as much information as possible from limited monitoring datasets. We especially encourage presentations regarding monitoring and hazard assessment/mitigation at North American volcanoes; however, contributions from other regions are also welcome.
