Subject: CoV10 session -- volcano geodesy for monitoring and hazards mitigation
************************************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
The May 10 deadline for Cities on Volcanoes 10 abstracts is just around the corner! With that in mind, we're pleased to announce a session focused on volcano geodesy -- particularly with using geodesy within multidisciplinary monitoring and hazards efforts.
Hope to see you in Naples!

S1.13: Geodesy: A critical component of multidisciplinary volcano monitoring and hazards mitigation efforts
Geodesy, including surface deformation and gravity, is a critical part of any volcano monitoring system. Ground -and space-based geodetic measurements have the ability to map changes in magma storage and transport conditions over time and space that may not be readily discerned from other datasets. Employing geodesy in combination with other monitoring tools, like seismology and gas geochemistry, is a prerequisite for achieving successful forecasts of hazardous volcanic activity. We encourage submissions that demonstrate the importance of geodesy in elucidating subsurface processes associated with active volcanism. Of special interest are studies showing how the integration of different types of geodesy data and/or geodesy combined with other techniques, can contribute to volcanic hazard assessment and eruption forecasting. Lessons learned from case studies that illustrate how geodetic information has been used by volcanologists and volcano observatories, as well as demonstrations of new tools, techniques, and models that will encourage expanded use of geodesy as a volcano monitoring tool are also of interest.
