These events and their cascading effects can extend to the volcano periphery, affecting areas and populations far from the volcanic center. For example, rock or debris avalanches and lahars can devastate vast areas, resulting in fatalities, damage, and changes to the landscape and sudden flank failures in island, coastal, or submarine volcanoes can generate tsunamis that can reach coastal areas tens of kilometers away from the source. These large events are low in frequency but high in intensity which make them difficult to study and can result in significant local and regional hazards, often with catastrophic consequences. In volcanic areas slope instability is influenced by the complex interactions between tectonics, magmatic fluids, meteorological conditions, material alteration, eruptive events, and gravitational processes, leading to significant changes in flow rheology along the slope and to complicated cascading processes which are challenging to understand and predict. As a consequence, successful strategies for landslide hazard assessments in volcanic environments need to involve integrated methodologies for detection, mapping, monitoring, and modelling that are able to capture their complex nature. This session encourages multidisciplinary contributions that integrate onshore and offshore investigations, field-based geological studies, geomorphological mapping, volcanic rocks and deposits characterization, geophysical investigations, remote sensing, and analytical, numerical and analogical modelling to tackle the challenging and fascinating study of these processes.
