( 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 Federico Di Traglia, Alessandro Bonforte, Felix Gross, Matteo Roverato ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *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. *Deadline*: 31 May 2019 *Instruction to authors:* https://www.springer.com/earth+sciences+and+geography/geology/journal/531?detailsPage=pltci_1060460 Even if the journal has no limits, we ask you for articles of no more than 7000-10000 words, plus a maximum of 15 figures/tables. *Very important message to authors:* When you submit the draft, please indicate in the details section, that this is a contribution to â??*Flank dynamics, sector collapses, lahars, and rockfalls: analysis, monitoring, and modelling of small to large scale volcanic slope instability*â??, and please also send an e-mail to the Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Wolf-Christian Dullo (cdullo@xxxxxxxxx), as soon as a manuscript has been submitted. *Guest editors* · Federico Di Traglia, Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università degli Studi di Firenze (federico.ditraglia@xxxxxxxx) · Alessandro Bonforte, Osservatorio Etneo, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (alessandro.bonforte@xxxxxxx) · Felix Gross, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Institut für Geowissenschaften, Marine Geophysik und Hydroakustik ( felix.gross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) · Matteo Roverato, School of Geological Sciences and Engineering, Yachay Tech University (mroverato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ) ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
