1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Alessandro Bonforte <alessandro.bonforte@xxxxxxx> Dear all, We would like to remind you the opportunity to submit a paper in the Special Issue â??*Flank dynamics, sector collapses, lahars, and rockfalls: analysis, monitoring, and modeling 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). *Flank dynamics, sector collapses, lahars, and rockfalls: analysis, monitoring, and modeling of small to large scale volcanic slope instability* Slope dynamics in a volcanic environment, both on-shore and subaqueous, comprise a wide spectrum of phenomena, from large lateral collapse to shallow debris remobilization that represents a major threat for human communities and infrastructures. Instability ranges from slow, continuous to sudden, catastrophic events. The interpretation and evaluation of such events are 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*: 30 September 2019 *Instruction to authors:* https://www.springer.com/earth+sciences+and+geography/geology/journal/531?detailsPage=pltci_1060460 *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 modeling 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. 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ============================================================== 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).
