Dear colleagues,
We invite you to participate to the post-meeting Broadband Acquisition and Imaging Operation (BAcIO) field workshop that will be held in Stromboli island from 8 to 13 September. This is an ‘operative’ workshop conceived as a multidisciplinary, ‘hands-on’ field experiment that is planned to take place near the summit of Stromboli volcano. It is meant to gather specialists and apprentices in the use of field-based techniques for monitoring/observing persistent explosive volcanic activity. The aim is to: 1) promote the synergic use of different field based measuring techniques, 2) share expertise and ideas on traditional and novel eruption observation tools, and 3) expand our knowledge of eruptive processes.
The activity will consist in the temporary deployment of a range of imaging, acoustic, seismic, and geochemical data acquisition systems, including, but not limited to, high-speed visible and thermal cameras, seismometers, microphones, UV and SO2 sensors, and drones. The organizing team will operate part of these tools, but participants are invited to carry, deploy, and illustrate their own instruments and techniques.
Observation focus will cover topics such as eruptive plume dynamics, pyroclast ejection processes extending from the shallow conduit, through their acceleration and interaction with the atmosphere, and their dispersal and deposition, and associated geophysical and geochemical signals. Local meteorological and volcanological (i.e., activity style, frequency, and intensity) conditions will have the last word on observational activities. The access to the summit area are subject to regulations that may vary depending on the activity of the volcano.
Participants will be limited to a maximum of 35 persons. Good health and hiking capabilities are required, as access to the deployment site is by walking only (daily 950 m of vertical climb, approx. 2-3 hours).
