6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 From: Druitt Timothy UCA <tim.druitt@xxxxxx> *Now accepting registration: Joint workshop of the Iavcei Commissions of Explosive Volcanism and Tephra Hazards Modelling; Cities on Volcanoes 11, May 2020* We wish to announce that registration for the pre-meeting field workshop on Santorini associated with Cities on Volcanoes 11 (Heraklion, Crete) in May of 2020 is now open. Speedy registration is advised. Santorini is a well-established natural laboratory for studying explosive volcanism, caldera collapse and their associated hazards. The Late Bronze Age (LBA) eruption of Santorini volcano was one of the largest volcanic events of the last 10,000 years, with impacts on early European civilization. Mitigating societal risk at volcanoes depends critically on our ability to quantify volcanic hazards in the geologic record. This IAVCEI field workshop, for a maximum of 30 participants, is organised jointly by the Commissions on Explosive Volcanism and Tephra Hazards Modelling. It will focus on the quantification of hazardous volcanic phenomena based on measurements and modelling of pyroclastic processes and products, building on extensive new work carried out on the volcano. The first day (18 May) will focus on a series of four lecture/exercise sessions on issues related to explosive volcanism: (1) techniques of eruption parameter estimation in the field and laboratory, (2) volcanic plume dynamics and tephra fall hazards assessments, (3) dynamics of pyroclastic currents and associated hazards, and (4) risk and resilience related to explosive volcanism. The other three days (19, 20, 21 May) will be spent in the field examining and discussing a wide range of pyroclastic products, including fallout and pyroclastic current deposits, proximal lag breccias, and diverse ignimbrite facies. The products of the LBA eruption will be a particular focus. The trip will explore field relationships that can be used to constrain eruptive processes and their hazards to society, including infrastructure and human health. During a boat trip we will visit the historical eruptive centre (Kameni Islands) and view the architecture of the spectacular caldera walls. We will also visit the buried 3600-year old town of Akrotiri, one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Participants are expected to make their own way to Santorini by 17 May, then return to Heraklion on 22 May in time for the start of Cities on Volcanoes the following day. The workshop registration fee of 520 euros will include all costs on-island apart from three evening meals, which will be left to the participantsâ?? own expense. Hotel accommodation will be in twin-bed rooms in the main town of Fira, and participants will be invited to suggest room partners. Please register for the workshop on the CoV11 website ( https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/. In order to respect hotel bookings, firm registration will be required by 20 January at the latest and will be non-refundable. People wishing to register are encouraged to do so early so as to assure availability, since the maximum of 30 participants cannot be exceeded. The steps are: (1) register/pay for CoV11 meeting attendance, (2) sign up for the pre-conference workshop during registration, (3) await an email from the organisers providing a personalized online link for payment of the 520 euro workshop fee, then (4) pay that fee by the deadline of 20 January. Please note that registration for CoV is necessary in order to attend the workshop. However, interested parties unable to register early for CoV (for reasons of administration; e.g., US government employees) are requested to contact Tim Druitt ( tim.druitt@xxxxxx) directly in order to request a workshop payment link first, then pay for CoV later. IAVCEI is pleased to offer five attendance grants of 400 euros each to young scientists from developing countries and/or volcano observatories, provided that they are members of Iavcei. Interested candidates should send a CV and a letter of motivation *no later than the 31 December* to both Mattia de' Michieli Vitturi (mattia.demichielivitturi@xxxxxxx) and Alexa Van Eaton (avaneaton@xxxxxxxx). The candidates will be informed of a decision in early January, and the grants will be transferred to the candidatesâ?? accounts as soon as possible after that. The successful candidates should, however, follow the same registration procedure as other participants. Please note that another Iavcei workshop, organised by the Collapse Calderas Commission, will take place on Santorini in September of 2020, and will be announced fully soon. 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 ============================================================== 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).
