Fall AGU Meeting 2015. Session V018: How and when do volcanic eruptions start and stop, and what controls the tempo of
everything in between?
Like
many others before us, we would like to draw your attention to the
session that we are organising at the Fall AGU Meeting in December. The
description of the session
is:
There is
much information now accumulating about the timing of volcanic
eruptions, from the millennia (or longer) for the accumulation of magma
into its eruptible state through to real-time
observations of contemporary eruptive activity. A key aim of
volcanology is to forecast the course of future events and provide
advice on the timing and processes at ongoing eruptions on timescales
that are relevant to humanity and with a degree of confidence
about the processes involved. We invite contributions that address all
the facets of this topic. These might include (1) magmatic forensics of
past eruption products that contribute to accurate assessment of
timescales and processes in past events; (2) studies
of modern eruptions and the controls on their durations, including
prolonged, multi-episode events; and (3) how temporal information about
magmatic and volcanic processes can be translated into sound and useful
advice to civil authorities for managing ongoing
and future events.
Our interest is in attracting contributions across a
wider-than-usual range of topics, from those dealing with past magmatic
forensics to those that tackle thorny questions of deciding when
eruptions might have stopped and how might could one tell. We
have as invited contributors:
Allie Rubin (UC Davis)
John Pallister (USGS, Cascades Volcano Observatory)
Marie Edmonds (University of Cambridge)
Thor Thordarson (University of Iceland)
We hope that as many of you as possible are able to join us and
participate in this session, and look forward to seeing you in San
Francisco.
The conveners:
Colin Wilson (Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand)
Michelle Coombs (USGS, Alaska Volcano Observatory)
Bruce Houghton (SOEST, University of Hawaii)
Paul Wallace (University of Oregon)
