Special session on recent eruptions : hazards, impacts, and consequences 2. Special session on recent eruptions : crisis management 3. Special session on covid-19 and volcanoes : lessons and adaptation 4. Special session on lessons from social sciences and related disciplines We provide details on each special session below, and encourage you to submit an abstract. We remind you that you may submit up to 3 abstracts as first author, and that the *abstract submission deadline is February 13, 2022*. February 13 is also the deadline for uploading modified abstracts if you have indicated to the conference organizers that you wish to do so. *Note that everyone who submitted an abstract in early 2019 was sent an email last month asking whether you wish to keep, modify, or withdraw your abstract, please check your spam folder if you did not receive it.* COV11 will be held June 12-17 2022 as a hybrid physical/virtual conference. Special session on recent eruptions : hazards, impacts, and consequences *Convenors: **Omari Graham* (Seismic Research Center, The University of the West Indies), *Victoria Miller* (Seismic Research Center, The University of the West Indies), *Nemesio Perez* (Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias), *Richard Robertson* (Seismic Research Center, The University of the West Indies), *Giuseppe Salerno* (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Osservatorio Etneo) *Description: *There have been a number of impactful eruptions since early 2020, including Fagradalsfjall (Iceland), La Soufrière (St Vincent), Nyiragongo (Democratic Republic of Congo), La Palma (Spain), and others. This session is dedicated to providing an overview and preliminary results of recent eruptions , with a focus on hazards, impacts, and consequences. Special session on recent eruptions : crisis management *Convenors: **Stefano Branca* (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Osservatorio Etneo), *Angela Doherty* (Auckland Emergency Management), *Stacey Edwards* (Seismic Research Center, The University of the West Indies), *Michelle Forbes* (National Emergency Management Organisation of St. Vincent & the Grenadines), *Erouscilla Joseph* (Seismic Research Center, The University of the West Indies) *Description: *There have been a number of impactful eruptions since early 2020, including Fagradalsfjall (Iceland), La Soufrière (St Vincent), Nyiragongo (Democratic Republic of Congo), La Palma (Spain), and others. This session is dedicated on the crisis management of these eruptions, including resident and tourist considerations, communications, crisis management in the time of covid-19, and interagency cooperation. Special session on covid-19 and volcanoes : lessons and adaptation *Convenors:* *Jorge Romero Moyano* (University of Manchester), *Carol Stewart* (Massey University) *Description: *Since late 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; â??covid-19â??) had resulted in a severe global disruption, affecting all parts of the world and impacting nearly every aspect of life. This session is focused on both lessons learned from covid-19 response strategies that can be applied to volcanology, and how volcanic eruption pre-crisis planning and response, and volcanology more broadly has adapted in the time of covid-19. We particularly welcome contributions that focus on communication, crisis management, and interagency cooperation. Special session on lessons from social sciences and related disciplines *Convenors: **Jenni Barclay* (University of East Anglia), and to be confirmed *Description: *This broad special session welcomes contributions that brings together and demonstrates the value of social sciences and related disciplines to volcanology (e.g. anthropology, economics, geography, political science, communication, psychology and sociology). We welcome contributions that are able to share lessons and learnings from research in these disciplines. *Links:* - *Conference website: *https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!OaevqRveGWQZCwOfLmpe1vScrK7fmr5f3pCv_zmgZ4W0qSSidCD4F-KPetOqEAY$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!PREklVYJeQhwIY--Bla57JA-QquuuJLW8HWCaFiBE70rbrs4RuXdvxugFNR5nBk$> - *Abstract submission (deadline February 13): * https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!OaevqRveGWQZCwOfLmpe1vScrK7fmr5f3pCv_zmgZ4W0qSSidCD4F-KPTbWiCBE$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!PREklVYJeQhwIY--Bla57JA-QquuuJLW8HWCaFiBE70rbrs4RuXdvxugJvFPCp8$> - *Registration, physical: * https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/physical-attendance__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!OaevqRveGWQZCwOfLmpe1vScrK7fmr5f3pCv_zmgZ4W0qSSidCD4F-KPy2pf670$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/physical-attendance__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!PREklVYJeQhwIY--Bla57JA-QquuuJLW8HWCaFiBE70rbrs4RuXdvxug2vGbS-8$> - *Registration, virtual:* https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/cmspreview/volcanoes11/virtual-attendance__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!OaevqRveGWQZCwOfLmpe1vScrK7fmr5f3pCv_zmgZ4W0qSSidCD4F-KPooFrpYQ$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/cmspreview/volcanoes11/virtual-attendance__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!PREklVYJeQhwIY--Bla57JA-QquuuJLW8HWCaFiBE70rbrs4RuXdvxugiDrx0s0$> 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
