Dear friends,


We wish you a Happy New Year and we kindly remind you to submit abstracts to the session "Analysis, monitoring, modelling of mass-wasting in volcanic areas"
(GMPV4.2/GM7.7/NH2.9/TS10.4) at the next EGU in Wien, April 8-13, 2018.

You can submit here: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/27170

There are very few days before the deadline for abstract submission that is January 10, 2018.


Thank you,

The Conveners

*Abstract*

GMPV4.2/GM7.7/NH2.9/TS10.4
Analysis, monitoring, modelling of mass-wasting in volcanic areas (co-organized)
Convener: Alessandro Bonforte

Mass-wasting in volcanic terrains comprises a wide spectrum of phenomena, from large

lateral collapse to shallow debris remobilization. Volcanic spreading and

slope stability ranges from slow and continuous to sudden and catastrophic;

it is often observed at volcanoes and the interpretation of such events is

challenged by the complex and evolving interactions between tectonic,

magmatic, fluid, and gravitational processes. Rock-falls, frequently

evolving in gravel flows or rock avalanches, are often associated with

volcanic activity. In most cases, volcano slopes continue below the sea

level and also subaqueous volcano flanks can be prone for mass wasting,

often affected by terrestrial volcano built-up and activity. Explosive

eruptions can severely disrupt the environment around volcanoes by

depositing large volumes of erodible fragmental material, generating

lahars. All these events potentially cause severe damage to human society,

directly or through secondary events like tsunamis. Successful strategies

for mass-wasting hazard assessment and risk reduction would imply

integrated methodology for instability detection, mapping, monitoring and

forecasting. Nevertheless, only few studies exist to date in which

numerical modelling integrate geological, geophysical, geodetic studies

with the aim of understanding and managing of terrestrial and subaqueous

volcano slope instability.

This session invites research efforts that observe, quantify, or model

volcano slope movements and failure. We encourage multidisciplinary

contributions that integrate field-based on-shore and submarine studies

(geological, geochemical), geomorphological mapping and account collection,

with advanced techniques, as remote sensing data analysis, geophysical

investigations, ground-based monitoring systems, and numerical and

analogical modelling of volcano spreading, slope stability and runout

volcaniclastic flows.
