Following several successful sessions at AGU and IAVCEI, we would like to solicit contributions for the upcoming open-access Frontiers in Earth Science Research Topic entitled:
We would like to gather topics including optimization of monitoring networks (from one sensor to multi-disciplinary efforts, for single volcanoes or volcanic regions), field studies or lab experiments, statistics, and models, with the final goal of improving process-based and pattern-based forecasting of volcanic events and of their evolution through time. We particularly encourage studies that challenge established paradigms and that may ultimately support decision making of local authorities..
By publishing your best work with us in Frontiers, you can expect:
1) Rapid publication: average time from submission to publication is 90 days
2) Reduction of costs by 15% for full-length research paper within Research Topic submissions (see frontiersin.org/about/publishing-fees ). Full and partial fee waivers exist, depending on funding status.
If you are interested in contributing to the proposed research topic, send us your email, first and last names and contribution title. Abstract submission deadline is on 15 October 2017.

Dear colleagues and friends,
Following several successful sessions at AGU and IAVCEI, we would like to solicit contributions for the upcoming open-access Frontiers in Earth Science Research Topic entitled:
"Towards Improved Forecasting of Volcanic Eruptions"
Forecasting volcanic eruptions and their potential impacts are primary goals in Natural Hazards research. Active volcanoes are nowadays monitored by different ground and space-based instruments providing a wealth of seismic, geodetic, and chemical data for academic volcanologists and monitoring agencies. We have better insights into volcanic systems thanks to steady improvements in research tools and data processing techniques. The integration of these data into physics-based models allows us for example to constrain magma migration at depth and to derive the pressure evolution inside volcanic conduits and reservoirs, which ultimately help monitor evolving volcanic hazard.
Yet, it remains challenging to answer the most crucial questions when the threat of an eruption looms over us: When will it occur? What will be its style? Will it switch during its course? How long will the eruption last? And most importantly: will we have enough time to alert and evacuate population?
By publishing your best work with us in Frontiers, you can expect:
1) Rapid publication: average time from submission to publication is 90 days
2) Reduction of costs by 15% for full-length research paper within Research Topic submissions (see frontiersin.org/about/pub
3) An exciting review system
If you are interested in contributing to the proposed research topic, send us your email, first and last names and contribution title. Abstract submission deadline is on 15 October 2017.
The deadline for the manuscript submission is 1 February 2018. More details can be found here: http://journal.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/6129/towards-improved-forecasting-of-volcanic-eruptions .
Of course, do not hesitate to contact us if you have any question.
Looking forward your participation,
Yosuke, Nico, Lauriane, Társilo and Corentin
