1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: "Ulrich Küppers" <u.kueppers@xxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We are looking forward to meeting many of you in Rotorua, New Zealand, to the long-awaited IAVCEI Scientific Assembly next year. We are aware that the upcoming deadline for abstract submission (2 September) is approaching quickly and that you may have received several similar emails. We are absolute sure that this conference is a pivotal event for our community and we are inviting you to contribute to our session: *Processes and Products of Explosive Volcanic Eruptions *(as part of the symposium â??Eruption Triggers and Styles: From precursor to Eruptionâ??) â?? Explosive volcanic eruptions are powerful manifestations of geologically short-lived yet landscape-shaping events. To date, the start, duration, and style of eruptions cannot be forecasted precisely enough to allow for holistic hazard mitigation. Processes including shear and gas exsolution produce significant textural changes in rising magma. Eventually, intrinsic and extrinsic forces may fragment magma and eject clasts of variable size, shape and nature into the atmosphere or ocean. Depending on eruption style and ambient conditions, pyroclasts and lithics are dispersed by a plethora of forces in eruption plumes and/or ground-hugging density currents. As magma priming and fragmentation cannot be observed directly, improving our understanding of explosive eruptions requires an integrative approach including geophysical monitoring and direct observations as well as petrological, textural and sedimentological studies. We look forward to contributions that advance our mechanistic and quantitative understanding of explosive eruptions through field, experimental, numerical modelling, or analytical approaches. â??
