Subject: CoV10 session - Volcanic ash: from monitoring to impacts
************************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
As the CoV10 abstract submission deadline nears (May 10th), we encourage you to consider the following session, which covers the monitoring, modeling, and hazards of ash-producing eruptions.
——————
Explosive eruptions can represent serious hazards at the ground and aloft, including health issues from inhaling volcanic gas and ash, harming buildings and infrastructure from heavy tephra fallout, and damaging aircraft engines. Real-time monitoring and modelling of volcanic ash dispersal are powerful tools for understanding the mechanisms driving and affecting these processes and also to assess and mitigate the associated hazards. During an eruption it is crucial to:
- Rely on a robust monitoring system capable to detect and possibly estimate ash cloud properties,
- Quantify and estimate eruptive source parameters in real-time,
- Provide timely forecasts of ash transport and fallout, and
- Integrate this quantitative information into an hazard perspective either on local scale (vulnerability of buildings) and distal scale (air navigation service disruption).
This session welcomes all contributions presenting effective ways to integrate ground measurements, remote sensing and in-situ observations, and numerical models for a reliable assessment of tephra hazards. Contributions of both general modeling and individual case-studies are welcome. We particularly encourage contributions showing how this integration has been possible within an operational framework during on-going eruptions, to facilitate and support crises management.
This session has the sponsorship and support of the IAVCEI Commission on Explosive Volcanism and the IAVCEI Commission on Tephra Hazard Modeling.
