Rittmann Conference in Catania, Italy, from September 29 to October 1, 2022. Abstract submission deadline is *11th June 2022.* More details about submitting an abstract to this session can be found on the conference website ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.conferenzarittmann.it/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!dEJYARUJIvkY3Y9oREb7_tWvXUcNxKoX4ZDLRXB0m5FbppHzDVyCe8Rc6yr1p7UupeqRh436JB3EgWao$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.conferenzarittmann.it/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!dEJYARUJIvkY3Y9oREb7_tWvXUcNxKoX4ZDLRXB0m5FbppHzDVyCe8Rc6yr1p7UupeqRh436JB3EgWao$> ). https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.conferenzarittmann.it/sessioni/sessioni/34-s3-geomatics-disciplines-and-the-innovative-uav-based-technique-to-reconstruct-the-topography-and-to-investigate-active-volcanoes.html__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!emHXrUOyIMdmL1AFoufPuSgdLJwIQj76iWHqJCjgCwM89lsqVUy4cK0wI63v2ZRyB9X3oLlXzsAoXnUv$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.conferenzarittmann.it/sessioni/sessioni/34-s3-geomatics-disciplines-and-the-innovative-uav-based-technique-to-reconstruct-the-topography-and-to-investigate-active-volcanoes.html__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!aVdEnQ16glLT8djmFGSyWN6I0wMGuRcfucpEFKNqd-Bzeg-gaePjLrjGiPx6v5ycpRDq9qSCbPYW5N1D-ducAr1xa-CeCA$> Session description: Tephra and cryptotephra deposits are extensively used as chronological and stratigraphic tools for addressing numerous issues in Quaternary sciences as well as to derive important information on past explosive volcanic activity and the evolution of volcanic systems. Indeed, tephra layers preserved in distal records and characterized by a distinct geochemical signature can be correlated over wide regions acting as isochronous marker horizons and allowing precise correlations and synchronization of past events from regional to global scale. In volcanology, the study of distal tephra is crucial to significantly improve the reconstruction of the explosive history of volcanic systems and provide new insights into their magmatic evolution. Tephra studies also have great importance in archaeological studies, both to investigate the response of civilizations to volcanic eruptions and to date pre-historic settlements when other methods are not adequate. This session aims to provide a complete and up-to-date view on the tephrochronological studies applied within the diverse fields of the Quaternary Sciences and welcomes contributions from scientists which apply tephrochronology in cross-disciplinary studies. In this session, we welcome any contribution employing tephra layers for reconstructing past volcanic events, as well as paleoclimate, paleoenvironmental, palaeontology, and archaeology related studies. Conveners: Lorenzo Monaco (University of Pisa), Alessio di Roberto (INGV - Pisa), Ivan Sunyé Puchol (La Sapienza â?? University of Rome), Giusseppe Re (INGV - Pisa) Federica Totaro (University of Naples â?? Federico II) 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ------------------------------
