****************************************************************************************************
We would like to draw your attention to the Consensual Document of the MeMoVolc (ESF Reasearch Networking Programme) workshop on the "Dynamics of volcanic explosive eruptions" that took place at the University of Geneva on 29-31 January 2014 with aims to: i) fill the gap between recent advances in geophysical, modelling and field strategies and current classification schemes; ii) discuss whether there is still a need for eruption classification; iii) investigate how the contributions from different sub-disciplines can be combined.
Specific objectives were to: i) review new advances in our mechanistic understanding of a broad range of eruptive styles; ii) identify the critical parameters that drive and characterize explosive volcanism of different types; iii) determine the main processes that control the temporal evolution of eruptions, and the frequently observed changes in eruptive style; iv) suggest a roadmap for producing a rational and comprehensive classification scheme.
The Consensual Document has been uploaded on Vhub (https://vhub.org/resources/3561) and attempts to summarize the outcome of two and a half days of talks, posters, break-out sessions, and plenary discussions.
