Dear Colleagues
Registration is now open for the 2011 William Smith meeting entitled:
Remote sensing of volcanoes & volcanic processes: integrating observation & modelling
It will be held at the Geological Society in London, 4-5 October 2011. Further details and registration here:
<http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/gsl/events/listings/williamsmith2011>
Keynote speakers
Professor Paul Segall (Stanford University) - William Smith lecturer
Professor Kathy Cashman (University of Oregon and University of Bristol)
Dr Mike Burton (Instituto Nazionale di Geofisica a Vulcanologia, Pisa)
Professor Tony Watts (University of Oxford)
Professor Kathy Whaler (University of Edinburgh)
Professor Matt Pritchard (Cornell University)
The aim of this meeting is to bring together people from the remote sensing communities with those involved in the modeling and field observations of volcanic systems – whether active, or dormant; on land, or under the sea – in order to stimulate new interactions, and identify promising new directions. Each of these fields are growing rapidly: new satellite sensors and retrieval methods have opened up a number of remote-sensing tools (for detecting volcano deformation and measuring volcanic heat and gas emissions) which are now semi-automated and, in some cases, available on a daily basis. New sets of ground-based measurement techniques are yielding abundant high-frequency datastreams from active volcanoes, with many opportunities to merge observations with models. While models for volcano behaviour are advancing, what constraints do the new results from geodesy, field observation and geochemistry place on these models?
We really hope to see you there
David Pyle, Tamsin Mather and Juliet Biggs
