Over the past several decades, various eruptions have influenced thinking in an array of disciplines, from deep-mantle processes to atmospheric impacts, and from science to society. In this session, we hope to capture and highlight some of those legacies. The session description follows. We look forward to your contributions. *Abstracts are due Wednesday, JULY 31* Jon Major __________________________________________ *Scientific and Societal Legacies of Volcanic Eruptions* Some volcanic eruptions have fundamentally changed our understanding of how volcanoes work, how landscapes evolve, how ecosystems are affected and adapt, and how hazardous phenomena affect human populations. For example, the 18 May 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens not only highlighted the poorly known phenomena of debris avalanches and lateral blasts, but also advanced scientific thought in diverse disciplines including volcanology and geophysics, atmospheric sciences, ecology, hydrology, geohealth, hazards, communication, and social sciences. Some four decades later, the legacy of that eruption continues to affect and influence both science and society. This session highlights scientific and societal legacies of eruptions (Mount St. Helens and others) over the past few decades. We invite contributions from diverse disciplines that demonstrate how a particular eruption has fostered critical basic and applied research that affects our ability to understand and mitigate volcanic activity. *Conveners* Cynthia Gardner, Volcano Science Center, US Geological Survey (VGP section); cgardner@xxxxxxxx Jon Major, Volcano Science Center, US Geological Survey (EPSP section); jjmajor@xxxxxxxx Claire Horwell, Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University (Geohealth section); claire.horwell@xxxxxxxxxxxx ============================================================== 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).
