Dear colleagues,
Call for abstracts to the session GMPV4.5/AS3.7/NH2.6 to the next EGU in Vienna.
Numerous volcanic hazards are directly related to ash plumes, but plume complex dynamics makes their characterization a challenge. Plume parameters at different scales have to be taken into account to properly define and anticipate their behavior. Thus, we would like to draw your attention to the session: Ash plume dynamics: field, experimental and numerical investigations at different scales (co-sponsored by VERTIGO) where we plan to bring researchers from several different fields in order to discuss a wide range of aspects concerning volcanic plume dynamics and their links.
Abstract:
Ash plumes are a primary source of volcanic hazards including, but not limited to, the disruption of infrastructure systems, airplane’s airworthiness reduction and health issues. Understanding plume dynamics is thus crucial in order to anticipate their behavior and mitigate the associated hazard. Volcanic plume dynamics include a broad range of factors/processes at different length and time scales, ranging from atmospheric (kilometer) to particle (micron) size and from dispersal (days) to fragmentation (millisecond) duration, respectively. Understanding such complex dynamics requires a comprehensive approach from a variety of fields, and all the most up-to-date technological advancements in field, experimental, and numerical studies.
Therefore we invite to this interdisciplinary session researchers working on a broad range of fields related to any aspect of volcanic plumes, from field observations techniques, such as multispectral visualization, radar and satellite retrievals, and acoustic-infrasonic measurements, to new experimental and numerical investigations of processes such as: i) the injection and dispersal of particle-laden jets and plumes, ii) particle sedimentation; iii) particle interactions (e.g. aggregation, electrification, scavenging) and iv) generation and propagation of plume-related geophysical signals. Particularly welcome will be interdisciplinary and mixed approaches that could bring new inputs in our current view of volcanic plume dynamics.
