METHODOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS" for the 27th IUGG General Assembly, The deadline for the abstract submission is *March 1, 2019*. See you in Montreal Gianluca Groppelli and the co-conveners : Joan Mart" Molist (Spain), Natalia Pardo (Colombia), Federico Lucchi (Italy), Claudia Principe (Italy) V18 - MAPPING VOLCANOES. METHODOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS Description This symposium concerns updated examples of geological mapping in volcanic areas as essential inputs for analyses of physical volcanology and modeling, hazard evaluation, resource-exploration, and land-planning. Geological maps show the distribution at the Earth's surface of different kinds of Earth materials. But a geological map is much more than that, it is a synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the geology of an area. Understanding a geological map allows us to hypothesise what occurs at and beneath the surface, and address environmental, geographical, archaeological, hydrogeological, and economical geology research and applied questions, besides providing the main source data for multiple hazard analysis and land management. Although, geology is undergoing great changes, geological maps remain as fundamental as ever in depicting the nature observed in a particular territory and illustrating the distribution of earth materials in the three-dimensional space and over time. Today, computer science is adding further versatility, and new technologies are being employed in the production and use of maps, which recall the importance of understanding the basic principles behind them more important than ever. This is particularly significant for the geological maps of volcanic areas, which provide the main geospatial and stratigraphical information for future hazard assessments, or even provide the basis for emergency plans and mitigation strategies where hazard maps are yet unavailable. Contributions on the changing methods in producing volcanic maps are welcome as well as the contribution to volcanic mapping given by historical sources, archaeological findings, structural analyses, boreholes data, and geomorphology. ============================================================== 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).
