2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: "Drymoni, Kyriaki" <kyriaki.drymoni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear All, If you are attending the EGU General Assembly next year (14-19 April 2024) we invite you to submit an abstract in our GMPV8.4 session 'Toward realistic modelling of magma ascent and volcano deformation' ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/50189__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!bYrks91CUMt0cYO72ThOHpZnxNvt26aDEBsxRPP67lDkqFe98N2Z0jneSf3Qy2ZD_SwBUKLAtJTS5N2NKBkRhyn6ee-EEvb9nUMJ$ ). Abstract deadline is January 10th, 2024. Session description: Toward realistic modelling of magma ascent and volcano deformation Data from monitored volcanoes e.g., ground deformation, seismicity, gas analysis, and thermal imaging has improved significantly. Creating and testing models that can explain features of these datasets is essential to explain how and why volcanoes erupt. This remains challenging partly because we lack a unified model for the dominant processes that drive the formation and arrangement of magmatic plumbing systems that ultimately feed volcanic eruptions. The extent to which different model assumptions and simplifications affect the uncertainties of their outcomes also remains unclear. In this session, we seek contributions related to multidisciplinary approaches such as numerical and laboratory modelling, geodesy and geophysics that use novel methodologies to link the effects of magma migration with real-time modelling applications. We welcome contributions on magma/ host rock mechanical heterogeneity, magma rheology/outgassing, rock-magma interaction and magma-fault interaction in various tectonic stress regimes from rock testing, geophysical measurements, or geological field observation. Additionally, we seek contributions from those working on imaging and eruption precursors, data collection and interpretation by comparing and integrating field/experimental/numerical/machine learning and AI methods. Broadly, this session aims to discuss state-of-the-art, realistic, interdisciplinary models of magma ascent and storage that drives volcano deformation. Our hope is that this session will provide interesting discussions on volcano dynamics and aid in more effective identification and interpretation of volcanic activity within volcanoes and volcanic unrest. We look forward to seeing you all in Vienna, Kyriaki Drymoni, Sam Poppe, Claire Harnett, Tim Davis 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ------------------------------
