Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention
and encourage your contributions to two IAVCEI sessions at 2015’s IUGG
meeting in Prague that focus on volcano remote sensing and mapping. VS09
and VS25.
VS09 Statistics in Volcano Remote Sensing
Description
Remote sensing data are essential in volcanology. Observations are routinely made, using satellite and airborne platforms, of gases, aerosols, deformation, topography, morphology, chemistry, thermal inertia, and other properties. These data are used for reconnaissance, disaster preparation and response, deposit mapping, input for hazard modeling (eg. DEMs used as input in Lahar and lava flow models), comparison with in-situ measurements, and model verification, among other applications. Along with the remote sensing data explosion and the increased need for automated analysis, statistical interrogation of these data sets facilitates comparisons of techniques, analyses of accuracy, interpretation of time-series, probabilistic model building, among other purposes. However, statistical methods to do so are not standardized and commonly difficult to find. We invite contributions from across the broad field of remote sensing that address a statistical treatment of data to learn something about volcanic eruptions or landforms. This symposium will bring together volcanologists with diverse interests that all rely on statistics in volcano remote sensing.

Description
This symposium focusses on (1) The use of RS data in geologic mapping of volcanoes, and (2) Implementation of advanced image analysis relevant for proactive and disaster response mapping. The symposium is highly relevant due to the wealth of RS data with high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution allowing detailed geologic observations, but at the same time stress the need for semi-automated mapping techniques.

Please do contact me with any questions about either session.
Abstracts are due on the 31st of January!
We look forward to seeing you in Prague!
