2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Thomas Aubry <thom.aubry@xxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, Apologies for cross-posting. With the IAVCEI 2023 submission deadline quickly approaching (September 2, 2022), we would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the â??Interactions between volcanic eruptions and climateâ?? session: *Symposia:* Volatile influences on eruption style, degassing, atmospheric chemistry and climate *Session:* Interactions between volcanic eruptions and climate *Conveners:* May Chim, Thomas Aubry, Anja Schmidt and Alan Robock *Outline:* Volcanic eruptions impact Earthâ??s climate and environment on a range of temporal and spatial scales. Large volcanic eruptions cause global cooling, and can affect key modes of climate variability, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation, El Niño, and monsoon systems. Since the beginning of the 21st Century, a series of smaller eruptions have significantly increased the stratospheric aerosol background and may have slightly slowed the rate of global warming. Efforts at climate prediction on seasonal, annual, and decadal scales need to incorporate the effects of volcanic eruptions in their prediction schemes along with oceanic interactions to produce skillful forecasts. In addition, in a rapidly changing climate, it is important to understand how climate change may affect processes that govern volcanic impacts on climate and societies, such as the frequency-magnitude distribution of eruptions, the dispersion of volcanic ash and gas, or the chemical and microphysical processes controlling the lifecycle of volcanic aerosol particles and their radiative effects. This session welcomes papers on the broad range of effects of volcanic activity on weather, climate, and the environment. This includes, but is not limited to, i) studies improving our understanding of past climate-volcano interactions, such as the role of volcanic eruptions in the onset of the Little Ice Age; ii) plans and methods for incorporating observations and models to produce weather and climate forecasts following future eruptions, and iii) contributions showing evidence or building hypotheses on how climate change may affect volcanic eruptions and their climatic effects. We also welcome contributions focusing on the understanding of specific processes (e.g., remote sensing of eruptions, or the chemical and microphysical processes that govern the evolution of volcanic aerosols) and on the societal relevance of climate-volcano interactions.
