************************************************************************************
There will be a Special Issue of the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research on the 2009 Redoubt Eruption that myself, Peter Webley (AVO, UAF-GI), and Chris Waythomas (AVO, USGS) are the Editors.
Manuscripts are due April 1, 2011 and the JVGR site for the special issue will be open and ready to accept manuscripts about one month earlier. Authors should consult JVGR for manuscript style, length, reference formatting etc.
We would be interested in relevant manuscripts on all aspects of the 2009 Redoubt eruption and we look forward to your submissions.
Cheers

Description
Volcanoes can erupt explosively and cause large disruption to both local communities and over great distances. To fully understand a volcano's activity, there needs to be a multi discipline analysis approach of pre, current and post eruption characteristics. In 2009, after about five months of precursory unrest, Redoubt Volcano, Alaska erupted with more than 20 explosive events occurred from March 22 - April 4, 2009 producing volcanic ash clouds as high as 19 km above sea level and ash fall over southern and interior Alaska causing hundreds of flight cancellations, and airport closures. Explosive destruction of at least two andesitic lava domes caused melting of snow and ice and resulted in lahar inundation of the Drift River valley, Cook Inlet, Alaska forcing closure of an oil storage and transfer facility. Activity was recorded by a diverse set of instruments beyond the traditional seismic and geodetic; local and global lightning detection networks, infrasound arrays, radar, and various satellite-based sensors. Here, we look to bring together a diverse group of scientific papers to highlight the multidisciplinary approach employed to monitor and investigate the eruption and its aftermath.
