From: spoppe <Sam.Poppe@xxxxxxxxx>IUGG 2015. Update - Workshop on Quantification of Analogue Models in Volcanology (VW05)
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
we would like to inform you that the one-day workshop "Quantitative Analogue Models in Volcanology" (VW05) is now set to be held on Thursday 25 of June 2015, prior to the official program of the IAVCEI assembly during the 2015 IUGG General Assembly in Prague (22 June - 2 July, 2015).
See the official program at http://www.iugg2015prague.com/iavcei-symposia.htm#VW
Official abstract submission deadline: 31st of January 2015
Interested participants are requested to send an e-mail to Sam Poppe at sam.poppe@xxxxxxxxx to express their interest and receive the first circular of the workshop soon, and this preferentially before 15th of February. We would like to stress abstract submission is warmly invited, but not required, in order to participate.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Prague!
Convenors: Sam Poppe, Olivier Galland, Eoghan Holohan and Audray Delcamp

Description
A recent series of workshops and conference sessions have provided an overview of analogue modelling techniques and forums for researchers applying these techniques to investigate volcanic processes in a broad sense. These meetings have all contributed to sharing recent technological advances (e.g. laser-scanning, stereophotogrammetry, Moiré-method, X-ray computed (micro-) tomography, etc.) that focus on quantifying deformation signals in laboratory models.
To follow up on the momentum created amongst this growing scientific network, and to emphasize the growing importance of model quantification and scaling, we propose a one-day informal pre-conference workshop to be held at the IUGG 2015 General Assembly in Prague, Czech Republic.
The workshop will be divided thematically in two half-day sessions:
Morning session: “Recent Technological Advances in Model Quantification”
will discuss cutting-edge and innovative new monitoring techniques to quantify physical parameters in analogue volcanological models. This session will also discuss how our current lab approaches can be further improved to better integrate analogue results with numerical models and with real-time volcano monitoring data.
Lunch + long poster session
Afternoon session: “Dimensional Analysis and Similarity of Analogue Models to Nature”
will discuss (i) the concept of ‘scaling’ of analogue models and (ii) their application to nature. This part of the workshop aims at providing practical insights into how to build a robust dimensional analysis for deriving any physical law governing volcanologic systems. This session also aspires to produce a beginning of a guide to ‘best practices in scaling analogue models’ for future use in the community.
Each session is planned to start with two keynote presentations by invited expert speakers as catalysts for a debate amongst the workshop participants. The participants are invited to submit a one-page abstract and present a poster showcasing quantification techniques and/or scaling concepts currently used at their lab.
Suggestions on (sub-)topics to be discussed are welcome in advance by contacting the organizers.
