AGU 2011 Session: V02 100 Years of Observing Hawaiian Volcanoes
From: Michael P Poland <mpoland@xxxxxxxx>

Dear Colleagues,
In January 1912, Thomas Jaggar established the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) at Kilauea Volcano for the purpose of conducting systematic geological and geophysical monitoring to better understand natural hazards and mitigate natural catastrophes around the world. While emphasizing volcanic processes, Jaggar's, and HVO's, work has also focused on earthquakes and tsunami, especially in relation to Hawaii's volcanoes. HVO’s approaching Centennial provides an opportunity to review the current knowledge of Hawaiian volcanism that is based on 100 years of multidisciplinary geophysical, geological, and geochemical datasets, and discuss the future of volcano research in Hawaii. We encourage presentations at this AGU special session that highlight specific aspects of Hawaiian volcanism, studies of individual events (eruptions, intrusions, earthquakes, tsunami, etc.), synergistic analyses of large-scale problems (such as flank instability, magma storage and transport, and eruption dynamics), and examples of how research in Hawaii has influenced studies of other volcanoes around the world.
The abstract deadline is August 4, 2011. The session is sponsored by V, and co-sponsored by EP, G, NS, S, and T. Please consider submitting an abstract - we look forward to seeing you in San Francisco this December!
Aloha,
Jim Kauahikaua
