2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: "Andrews, Benjamin" <AndrewsB@xxxxxx> Dear colleagues, On behalf of my co-conveners I encourage your participation in AGU Session V029: What Can Pyroclasts Tell Us? https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/105810 Pyroclasts are fragments of magma generated during volcanic eruptions and they capture information on otherwise unobservable processes that control those eruptions. Increasingly refined analyses are used to investigate physical and chemical properties of pyroclasts to determine 1) the state of magma and its dynamic evolution in the conduit, 2) the response of magma to deformation, 3) the dynamics of particle ejection, transport, and deposition. When combined with sophisticated experiments and models, those analyses improve our comprehension of volcanic phenomena and the processes driving magma migration and fragmentation, transport dynamics through the atmosphere or along the ground, and the impact of eruptions on the environment. In this session we will explore the forefront of analysis and interpretation of pyroclasts and their deposits. This session has evolved over the past decade to become inclusive of nearly all topics within physical volcanology. To that end, we welcome contributions from field and experimental volcanology, monitoring and computational modeling to build dialogue between diverse scientists about how best to decipher volcanic eruptions using pyroclasts and/or visual observations of eruptions. The invited presenters in this session are Natalia Pardo (Universidad de Los Andes) and Pablo Forte (Universidad de Buenos Aires).
