Hi All,
With the May 10 deadline for Cities on Volcanoes 10 abstracts just around the corner, the IAVCEI Volcano Geodesy Commission would like to highlight two proposed sessions focused on Volcano Monitoring with Geodesy and Modeling and Interpreting Geodetic data at volcanoes. We invite your abstracts, and look forward to the discussion in Naples!

Geodesy, including surface deformation and gravity, is a critical part of any volcano monitoring system. Ground -and space-based geodeticmeasurements 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.
S1.41 | Improving volcano deformation interpretations with integrated multidisciplinary data
Conveners: Alessandro Bonforte, Ronni Grapenthin, Paul Lundgren, Emily Montgomery-Brown
Deformation observations are a critical component of volcano monitoring and, yet used in isolation, they can raise many unanswerable questions about, for example, the type and density of fluids causing deformation, or the total volume of eruptible magma. For this session, we seek presentations focused on volcano deformation that integrate geological, geophysical or geochemical data, or conceptual, experimental, analytical or numerical modeling to reduce the ambiguities of interpreting deformation alone. We also encourage contributions investigating time variable source processes and source evolution constrained by non-geodetic observations, or formally integrating data from multiple disciplines (joint inversions, physics-based modeling, machine learning). Of interest are also investigations into the performance and tradeoffs between simple analytical and more realistic and complex source models in time-constrained monitoring or rapid-response settings that analyze impacts of model-biases on interpretations and eruption forecast.
