IUGG 2015. IAVCEI Symposium VS33 Understanding Volcano-Climate Feedbacks
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear
colleagues,
I am writing on behalf of my co-conveners and myself to invite you to
submit a
paper to the upcoming IUGG - IAVCEI
Symposium VS33 Understanding Volcano-Climate Feedbacks, co-sponsored by
IACS.
While our understanding of volcano-climate linkages is still developing, increasingly studies are showing feedbacks between them at a variety of time-scales. On one hand many historic eruptions have had documented impacts on short term global temperatures (e.g., Tambora 1815), and on the other local climate events (heavy rains) are now thought to able to trigger eruptions (e.g., Soufriere Hills). This is especially true for glaciovolcanism, for which it has been argued that rapid deglaciation can trigger changes to asthenospheric melting and increased rates of volcanism, as well as having local effects at glacierized stratovolcanoes (edifice failure due to deglaciation). At the same time, damage done to glaciers by large-scale eruptions can hasten rates of melting and ice retreat, even as increased rates of volcanic gas emissions during deglaciation could either mitigate (e.g. SO2) or enhance (e.g. CO2) cyclic climatic warming. We invite contributions to this symposium that investigate the feedback frontiers between volcanism and climate change.
Convener: Benjamin Edwards (Carlisle, USA)
Co-conveners: Lucia Capra (Queretaro, México), Christian Huggel (Zurich, Switzerland), Hugh Tuffen (Lancaster, U.K.)
The abstract deadline is January 31, 2015
Looking forward to seeing you in Prague
