2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Gianluca Groppelli <gianluca.groppelli@xxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues we would like to draw your attention to the session on "*Volcano Geology: role of field work on modern Volcanology"* (*T7, session 3)* at the 37th International Geological Congress in Busan (South Korea) The deadline for the abstract submission is March 15th. A short description of the session follows Feel free to contact us for more information Best wishes Gianluca and Joan *Volcano Geology: role of field work on modern Volcanology*(convenors: Gianluca Groppelli and Joan Martì Molist) * T7, session 3Description* Volcanology has made a great advance in the last decades, becoming a modern interdisciplinary science aimed at quantifying volcanic processes and their associated hazards and impacts on society and the environment. The explosion of new techniques has reduced the prominence and perceived value of geology, despite it remains as the main source data for volcanic system, eruptions processes, and hazard modelling. In order to highlight and strengthen the role of geology as a critical foundation for modern volcanology, we propose this scientific session under the aegis of the IAVCEI Commission on Volcano Geology to promote research in geological aspects of volcano studies, providing a forum for discussion among researchers on new developments in geological studies in volcanology, and encouraging multidisciplinary research across the wide range of geological fields involved in volcanology. In this session we will pay special attention to the following aspects: 1) geological fieldwork and mapping of volcanic areas as the basis for detailed volcanological and magmatic studies. 2) role of fundamental volcano geology in hazard assessment. 3) geological mapping of volcanic areas and its implication on exploration of ore deposits and geothermal resources. 4) volcano-stratigraphy in ancient and recent terrains. 5) relevance of geology in volcano modelling. 6) role of geology in understanding volcanic unrest, etc. -- 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ------------------------------
