AGU 2010 Session: NH04 Hazards Associated With Snow- and Ice-Capped Volcanoes

We want to draw your attention to Fall AGU Session NH04: Hazards Associated With Snow- and Ice-Capped Volcanoes. Please see the session description below and feel free to email the conveners if you have any questions. This information as well as information for other Volcano-ice interactions sessions (presently at least three) at Fall AGU can be found at: http://volcanoes.dickinson.edu/VIWG/events2010.html or the Fall 2010 AGU website.
Interactions between glacial ice and/or snow and volcanism can lead to uniquely hazardous phenomena (e.g., lahars and debris avalanches), and distinctive volcanic landforms. Recent activity in Alaska, the Cascades, and Iceland have highlighted the importance of understanding explosive and effusive eruptions from snow and ice covered volcanoes. We invite contributions focused on volcanic hazards influenced by snow/ice. Contributions can address any aspect of such interactions, including deposits formed, physics of lava-ice/snow interactions, geomorphology of snow/ice-capped volcanoes, inventories of ice thicknesses at active/dormant volcanoes, atmospheric patterns and potential ash distribution, and hazard mapping.
Conveners: Ben Edwards (edwardsb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx), Jessica Larsen (faust@xxxxxxxxxxxxx), Hugo Delgado Granados (Hugo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
