Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite contributions to a special issue of the Bulletin of Volcanology on the 2016–17 eruption of Bogoslof volcano, Alaska.
Bogoslof volcano is a back-arc submarine volcano in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. It erupted intermittently over a period of about 8 months in 2016–17 and produced at least 70 eruptive events that were detected by the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO). The eruption was monitored with a combination of geophysical instruments, including seismic, infrasound, lightning, and various satellite platforms. This eruption was unique for the AVO because of its high number of closely spaced eruptive events, duration, and because it was the first submarine eruption of significance to occur in the Aleutian arc in modern times. Most of the eruptive events began at subaqueous vents and the eruption was strongly influenced by magma-water interaction. The island also experienced significant morphological changes as a result of the explosive eruptions. The magma-water interactions, remote location, lack of close-in monitoring, and hazards to aircraft from volcanic clouds make this a particularly compelling eruption to discuss monitoring techniques and integrate interdisciplinary observations and models. The eruption is somewhat unique among submarine eruptions in that it lasted about 8 months but included at least 70 eruptive events. There have been few modern submarine eruptions that have been monitored with multiple geophysical techniques. Thus the data and information generated by the Bogoslof eruption should serve as a noteworthy example of the style and character of a shallow explosive submarine eruption.
Submission deadline is 1 October 2018.
