Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to join a free webinar on measurements of volcanic gases
using modern instrumentation and drones. The material presented will focus
on research projects from California, Central America and Italy. Details
and the registration link are below:
[Webinar Title] - Hot Gases, Cool Techniques: Measuring Carbon Isotopes at
Volcanoes
[Date/Time] - *Thursday, 7/26/2018, 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET*
[Registration Link] - https://picarro.zoom.us/webi
nar/register/WN_ONZIgAZaQtCkud3S4Bq7fw
[Overview] - Volcanic degassing is an important indicator of deeper
processes occurring at active volcanoes. Carbon isotopes, in particular,
are important tools which can provide a baseline from which to gauge future
activity. Whether collected from soil gas, fumaroles, or dense plume by aid
of a drone, volcanic gas samples contain enough carbon dioxide to allow
variations in the stable carbon isotopic ratios to be measured and
interpreted in terms of eruption potential.
This one-hour webinar will feature John Stix (Professor, McGill University)
and Fiona D'Arcy (PhD student, McGill University) joined by Gregor Lucic
(Application Scientist, Picarro) as they delve into three volcanoes. Carbon
isotopes have been measured at each with the use of the Picarro Cavity Ring
Down Spectrometers G1101-i and G2201-i deployed on location at these hot
spots. Gregor will introduce the Picarro technology which can facilitate
these measurements, and will share his experience at Long Valley caldera,
where he used a CRDS G1101-i instrument. John will discuss the usefulness
and challenges overcome when applying in-situ CRDS at Turrialba volcano,
Costa Rica. Fiona will present the recent field campaign at Stromboli
volcano in Italy, where the samples collected by drone during the day were
analyzed nightly by CRDS and IRIS. In addition to learning about the unique
application of Picarro instruments at volcanoes, imagery from the heart of
these magnificent features will be enough to captivate the adventurer in
each of you!

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce our session at the 2018 AGU Fall Meeting in
Washington, DC: *G024**: **The Role of Geodesy and Remote Sensing in
Preparedness, Hazard Monitoring, and Disaster Response*
Please consider submitting an abstract to this session (using the link
below) and passing along this announcement to colleagues and students who
may be interested. We are hoping for good mix of presentations spanning a
range of geohazards, including, but not limited to volcanic hazards.
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/prelim.cgi/Session/47172
*Session description:* The past decade has seen order-of-magnitude
improvements in the spatial and temporal resolutions, geographical
coverage, and open accessibility of geodetic data and other remotely-sensed
imagery. This session will explore how these technologies can further
enhance the preparedness, monitoring, and rapid response to natural and
anthropogenic hazards and disasters. These include earthquakes, tsunami,
volcanic unrest and eruption, slope instabilities and failures, hurricanes,
coastal subsidence, flooding, and wildfires. Challenges include processing,
modeling and analyzing large 2-D, 3-D and 4-D datasets; differentiating
geophysically and/or societally-meaningful signals that may be small and
transient from ‘noise’; coordinating efforts across and beyond the geodesy
community; and communicating results with government agencies and the
general public. We seek contributions spanning the full suite of
measurements (e.g. surface reflectance, texture, coherence, displacement,
and topography), sensors (optical, lidar, radar, GNSS), and platforms
(satellite, airborne, unmanned, terrestrial). We welcome a breadth of
perspectives from scientists, engineers, geophysical agencies, and others.
*Invited speakers: *Angie Diefenbach (USGS), Luis Moya (Tohoku University)
Best wishes from the session conveners,
Ed Nissen (University of Victoria), Susanna Ebmeier (University of Leeds),

Dear colleagues,
We would like to bring your attention to the Fall AGU session V045: What
Can Pyroclasts Tell Us?
Full details of the session can be found at: https://agu.confex.com/agu
/fm18/gateway.cgi
*As a reminder, the deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday, 1 August
23:59 EDT. *
Session V045: What can pyroclasts tell us?
Pyroclasts are fragments of magma generated during volcanic eruptions and
they capture information on otherwise unobservable processes that control
those eruptions. Increasingly refined analyses are used to investigate
physical and chemical properties of pyroclasts to determine 1) the state of
magma and its dynamic evolution in the conduit, 2) the response of magma to
deformation, 3) the dynamics of particle ejection, transport, and
deposition. When combined with sophisticated experiments and models, those
analyses improve our comprehension of volcanic phenomena and the processes
driving magma migration and fragmentation, transport dynamics through the
atmosphere or along the ground, and the impact of eruptions on the
environment. In this session we will explore the forefront of analysis and
interpretation of pyroclasts and their deposits. We welcome contributions
from laboratory analysis, field and experimental volcanology, monitoring,
and computational modeling to build dialogue between diverse scientists
about how best to decipher volcanic eruptions using pyroclasts.
Best wishes,
Ben Andrews
on behalf of Ulrich Küppers, Corrado Cimarelli, and Heather Wright

Dear Colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting. We welcome and encourage your contribution to
the following session to be be held at the American Geophysical Union Fall
Meeting in Washington, D.C. on December 10-14, 2018.
*V022: Geosphere to Anthroposphere: an integrated approach to securing the
mineral resources that underpin modern society*
Access to sustainable supplies of mineral resources is of fundamental
importance to human welfare. Earth scientists play a vital role in shaping
natural resource policies that ensure the availability of these minerals to
society. These policies rely on knowledge of the stocks and flows of
materials in natural and anthropogenic systems, in turn requiring an
understanding of the geological processes that form mineral deposits and
the industrial processes that transform mineral resources into useful
materials. Future resource security will rely on both effective policy
development and innovative technologies to realize the potential of Earth’s
resources and make efficient use of above-ground stocks of materials in the
built environment. This session provides an integrated approach to
resolving some of these critical issues and welcomes contributions focusing
on economic geology, mineral extraction, byproduct recovery, recycling,
urban mining, and reprocessing of waste materials.
Index terms: Urban systems, Geochemical cycles, Economic geology, Mineral
occurrences and deposits

*Specialization Certificate on the Assessment and Management of Geological
and Climate related risk, CERG-C, University of Geneva, Switzerland*
We are pleased to announce the 2019 session of the CERG-C training that
will be held at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) between April 15th
and June 14th, 2019 (application deadline: September 15th, 2018;
http://www.unige.ch/hazards).
The Specialization Certificate in Geological and Climate related risk
(CERG-C) is an international training course for graduate students and
practitioners that has been running by the University of Geneva since 1988.
The CERG-C is an intensive 9-week long program integrating the physical and
social sciences as well as vulnerability and economics into risk
assessment. Completion of the Certificate requires a Thesis/Memoir to be
conducted in the candidate’s home country or in Geneva in collaboration
with various governmental or international agencies (e.g., UNISDR, UNOSAT,
WMO), due within 6-months of completion of the main course work. Target
modules include: risk management, volcanic risk, landslide risk, seismic
risk, and flood and climate-related risk.
Field exercises are offered with all CERG-C modules. In particular, as part
of the volcanic risk module, the CERG-C offers a 1-week field exercise on
the island of Vulcano, Italy, to study geologic risk in the context of
volcanic settings. Four main aspects are considered: physical volcanology;
vulnerability─ physical, systemic, economic and social; and risk assessment
and management. A dedicated educational exercise with the local primary
school is also organized as is a table-top emergency exercise simulating a
volcanic crisis. The training is strongly aligned with the Italian National
Civil Protection Department and includes a 1-day trip to Stromboli to
evaluate the interaction between physical science and emergency management.
CERG-C candidates come to Geneva from all over the world to take advantage
of faculty expertise and field settings mainly offered in Switzerland and
Italy and to have access to major international natural disaster
governmental and international organizations housed in Geneva. To date,
some 420 participants from 85 different countries have been trained. The
teaching faculty comprises some 30 international experts from various
institutions, including *University of Geneva, Switzerland; University of
Lausanne, Switzerland; Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Zürich
(Swiss Seismological Service);Swiss Federal Office for the Environment,
