2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Gaetana Ganci <gaetana.ganci@xxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We would like to encourage you to submit an abstract to the following session at the EGU General Assembly 2022 (3-8 April 2022): *Advances in numerical modelling of volcanic hazard* (GMPV10.4/NH2) https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/session/41924__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!Im0FZDmNqQ2YE9MA1kMoyjtpASXHDyoCQ5s3SrqFlcUucGsEnutUZ3P9yeEQ0Cs$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/session/41924__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!NbIOme-s_IR7-1qNiEf0vUsZfSKVYaSqtpcOadQs2ahvQlM88I6uN8P3j89nPls9U6o$> *Developing physical-mathematical models able to describe the evolution of eruptive phenomena is a key point in volcanology. In the case of high-risk phenomena, such as lava flows or ash dispersal, predicting their spatial and temporal evolution and determining the potentially affected areas is fundamental in supporting every action directed at mitigating the risk as well as for environmental planning.This session aims to address unresolved challenging questions related to complex geophysical flow modeling and simulation, gathering physical-mathematical models, numerical methods and field and satellite data analysis in order to: (i) expand knowledge of complex volcanic processes and their space-time dynamics; (ii) monitor and model volcanic phenomena; (iii) evaluate model robustness through validation against real case studies, analytical solutions and laboratory experiments; (iv) quantify the uncertainty propagation through both forward (sensitivity analyses) and inverse (optimization/calibration) modelling in all components of volcanic hazard modelling in response to eruptive crises.* Keynote speaker: Társilo Girona (Alaska Volcano Observatory) Conveners: Gaetana Ganci (INGV), Vito Zago (Northwestern University), Alexis Herault (le CNAM), Giuseppe Bilotta, Annalisa Cappello (INGV) The *deadline* for submitting your contribution to the EGU2022 is *12 January 2021*, *13:00 CET*. At present EGU22 is still intended to be a hybrid meeting with an in-person element, but please refer to https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.egu22.eu__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!LQnF8k6U4163kOsWhKJMPWYVJjfsuD2gczon9WRWlCz8UbFhDw6N_BnwKwcGrwU$ for constant updates on the status of the meeting with respect to the evolving COVID-19 situation. We are looking forward to meeting you in Wien, in presence or virtually. Tania, Vito, Giuseppe, Alexis and Annalisa 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ------------------------------
