4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Roberto Isaia <roberto.isaia@xxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, Iâ??d like to invite you to submit contributions as part of the scientific session *4.03 Multidisciplinary investigations to unravel the structure and dynamics of active volcanic systems* to be held at the upcoming Cities on Volcanoes 12 in Guatemala from February 11-17, 2024. The deadline for submission is next October 8! Thank you for your attention, Roberto *Conveners:* Roberto Isaia, Maria Giulia Di Giuseppe, Jacopo Natale, Victoria Smith *Contact:* roberto.isaia@xxxxxxx *Description:* Understanding the interplay between magmatic processes and volcanic structures is a primary task for volcanological research. Complex structural features and deposit stratigraphy in active volcanic settings preserve evidence of the eruptive and deformation history. Furthermore, the chemistry of the deposits can ultimately provide information on the nature of magma storage and migration in the sub-volcanic plumbing system. The integration of geophysical, geochemical and geological datasets has the potential to provide accurate constraints on the characteristics of sub-surface volcanic structures and their impact on magma storage, migration and eruption, and ultimately about the preferred pathways for rising magmatic and hydrothermal fluids. This includes how the structural development of a volcanic system controls magmatic processes both in space and time. By defining the interplay between structural and magmatic processes, it may be possible to build rigorous models of volcanic systems, identifying their steady-state conditions, transient modifications, and long-term evolution, which could provide important information for the prediction of future eruptive scenarios. The objective of this Research Topic is to collect contributions that focus on mutual aspects of volcanology, geophysics, petrology and/or geochemistry to provide new information about the structure and dynamics of active volcanic and magmatic systems. These might include laboratory, field-based, experimental or modelling studies, which elucidate the architecture of volcanic systems on spatial scales ranging from surface observations to the entire crust, and temporal scales ranging from real-time monitoring during eruptive events to millennial eruptive histories. Original Research, Methods and Reviews integrating multiple volcanological, geochemical and geophysical techniques are particularly encouraged, as well as examples showing how a more defined knowledge of volcanic structures can improve volcanic hazard assessment and aid volcanic risk quantification. 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 ------------------------------
