2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Karen Strehlow <kstrehlow@xxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, we invite you to submit an abstract to the session S1.6 â??The application of drones in volcano monitoring, volcanological research and volcanic emergency managementâ?? at Cities on Volcanoes 11 in Crete, May 2020! This session belongs to Symposium 1 â??Volcano Observatory work and monitoringâ??, more information can be found on the CoV-11 website: https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/. Please find the session description below. Abstract submission is open starting November 1st! We look forward to seeing many of you in Crete! Best regards, Karen Strehlow, Emanuela De Beni & Emma Liu Unmanned aerial vehicles ("UAVs" or "drones") provide the opportunity to safely enter so-far inaccessible areas on active volcanoes. The last years have seen a rapid development of drone technology and they are now increasingly utilized as an essential tool for monitoring and scientific purposes. Initially mostly used for visual observation, applications now range from photogrammetric and thermal mapping, to sampling and gas measurements. These allow us to obtain unique and novel data sets that help to better understand volcanic systems and eruption processes and thereby support hazard assessments. Drones have proved especially advantageous during volcanic crises. They can be used to assess the state of volcanic activity and update the ever-changing topography of the volcano in a cheap, quick and safe way. This is crucial for hazard propagation models and decision-making in a volcanic crisis and thereby directly supports risk mitigation efforts. This session is supposed to offer a forum for researchers, pilots, developers and those who manage volcanic crises to present and discuss recent advances, new approaches and best strategies in this young discipline. This exchange will be helpful to determine the optimal way to exploit drone technology for hazard assessment and management in volcanic areas. We invite all contributions presenting drone applications for scientific, monitoring and/or crisis management purposes, ranging from individual case studies to developments of systematic strategies. 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ============================================================== 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).
