3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Andrea Di Capua <andrea.dicapua@xxxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the EGU session ssp3.3, titled: Volcano-sedimentary processes in broader geological environments. https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/session/39690 Volcanoes are inherently complex and dynamic geological systems, acting as the source of diverse sediment types and as a control on varied sediment transport processes within surrounding environments, both during and after their life. This can manifest as an accumulation of thick primary volcaniclastic sequences from pyroclastic (e.g. pyroclastic density currents, tephra falls), laharic and flank instability processes, secondary volcaniclastic sequences from the reworking/redeposition (or both) of primary deposits and their interaction with non-volcanic sedimentary processes, or deposits from the weathering of lava flows. The diversity of processes that may be involved in the generation of volcaniclastic sequences makes often difficult to describe and interpret them. As the comprehension of the generation, transportation and accumulation mechanisms of volcaniclastic sequences is of extreme importance for natural hazard and economic perspectives, to reduce uncertainties and move forward in the identification of volcano-sedimentary processes and potential effects, modern and ancient volcaniclastic sequences must be studied and interpreted hand in hand. Thus, the proposed session aims to bring together studies that explore the volcaniclastic record of modern and ancient environments. Contributions are welcomed in areas including, but not limited to, the identification of volcanic features in ancient sedimentary records, multidisciplinary (e.g., stratigraphic, petrographic, geophysical) approaches to the study of modern subaerial and submarine volcaniclastic sequences as analogue sites, and examples of the modification of sedimentary systems across syn- and inter-eruptive periods. According to the COVID rules, the session will run the new EGU virtual PICO (vPICO) session format, which will offer the opportunity to address a truly worldwide and diverse audience. Please find further information about the concept at: https://egu21.eu/about/provisional_format_of_egu21.html Looking forward to seeing many of you at the EGU2021, Best regards The conveners Andrea Di Capua (CNR-IGAG) Rosanna De Rosa (Unical) Gabor Kereszturi (Massey University) Emilia Le Pera (Unical) Elodie Lebas (IPGP) 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 ------------------------------
