Dear all,



We are glad to invite you to submit a paper in the Special Issue â??*Flank
dynamics, sector collapses, lahars, and rockfalls: analysis, monitoring,
and modelling of small to large scale volcanic slope instability*â?? that
will be hosted in the â??International Journal of Earth Sciencesâ?? (
https://www.springer.com/earth+sciences+and+geography/geology/journal/531).


We ask you to send us an email of "declaration of interest" to the Special
Issue, including an indicative title of the contribution.


Best regards

*Flank dynamics, sector collapses, lahars, and rockfalls: analysis,
monitoring, and modelling of small to large scale volcanic slope
instability*



Slope dynamics in volcanic environment, both on-shore and subaqueous,
comprise a wide spectrum of phenomena, from large lateral collapse to
shallow debris remobilization that represent a major threat for human
communities and infrastructures. Instability ranges from slow, continuous
to sudden, catastrophic events.  The interpretation and evaluation of such
events is challenged by the complex and evolving interactions of tectonic,
magmatic, fluid, and gravitational processes. The moving masses can behave
in different ways depending on the depth of the detachment, water content
and flow rheology and can demonstrate different modes from deep flank
spreading or collapse to shallow granular or viscous flows. Water plays an
important role in the transport and emplacement mechanisms of flows,
enhancing their run-out and destructive power, as well as the pore pressure
can increase favor the failure on local faults and deep detachment layers.
Many volcanoes worldwide are located in tropical, high-precipitation
environments or are covered by snow or glaciers, which exacerbates the
potential for landslides, lahars and debris avalanches. In many cases,
volcano flanks continue below sea level and are often affected by
terrestrial volcano built-up and activity. Hence, subaqueous volcano flanks
can be prone to mass wasting and consecutive tsunamis. A holistic
understanding of flank dynamics and its consequences is therefore essential
for the establishment of disaster risk reduction measures in volcanic and
peri-volcanic environments.



The aim of this Special Issue is to give an updated general overview of the
progress in volcanic slope instability analysis, monitoring, and modelling
from multi-disciplinary efforts, from slope to edifice and regional scale.
Original contributions and reviews are welcome focusing on the integration
of terrestrial and subaqueous field-based geological and geochemical
studies, geomorphological mapping, geophysical investigations, remote
sensing and analytical, numerical and analogical modelling.
