Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to session 2-2d on volcano remote sensing at the 2013 IAVCEI General Assembly, Kagoshima, Japan, July 20-24. Abstracts are due before January 31, and can be submitted at http://www.iavcei2013.com/abstract_submission/abstract_submission.html

We look forward to receiving abstracts from the volcano remote sensing community.

Best wishes,

K. Cashman* (glkvc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx), A. Rust, J. Blundy

Symposium 2: Monitoring, Observations and Modeling of Active Volcanoes
Symposium 2-6c: Open System Volcanoes

Session description:

Open system volcanoes comprise a common form of volcanic activity – Sakurajima, near Kagoshima, is a classic example – but open system volcanoes are rarely examined as a group. In part this is a problem of terminology, where "open system" behavior is most often invoked to explain either magmatic processes or volatile transport, although volcanic systems are generally considered "open" when they have near-continuous gas emissions and frequent eruptions. Eruptive styles associated with open system behavior include long-lived lava lakes, persistent effusive activity (from basaltic lava flows to silicic domes), and episodic to periodic Strombolian (to violent Strombolian) and Vulcanian (to subplinian) explosions. The longevity of open volcanoes raises important questions about the nature of the magmatic systems that support such activity, and how to recognize the beginning, or ending, of open system behavior. In the past decade, new methods of monitoring the geophysical and geochemical signatures of open system behaviour has provided important new insight into these questions. We invite contributions that address all aspects of open system behavior, from the geophysical to the geochemical, from the magmatic system to the eruptive products and processes, from the beginning to ending of open system activity, from the hazards posed to the strategies for living with open system volcanoes.
