1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Alessia Falasconi <alessia.falasconi@xxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to session S16 - Magma storage and dynamics of explosive eruptions of the Rittmann conference, which will be held from 18th to 20th September 2024 in Catania (at Monastero dei Benedettini di San Nicolò lâ??Arena). Conveners: Federica Langone, Università di Milano, Alessia Falasconi, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Lucia Pappalardo, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Francesca Forni, Università di Milano In this session, we invite contributions that delve into the complexities of explosive eruptions, which represents the most violent and hazardous expression of magmatic activity on Earth. Understanding the conditions and timescale of magma storage in the crust, the processes that trigger explosive eruptions, and the mechanisms that control magma ascent to the surface is crucial for interpreting the signals of potential reawakening at active volcanic regions. Additionally, reconstructing the eruption parameters and dynamics facilitates the evaluation of the impact of these eruptions. We encourage submissions that utilize a wide range of methodologies, including field observations, textural analyses, geochemical, isotopic and geochronological investigations, geophysical data, laboratory experiments, and numerical modelling. By integrating these approaches, researchers can unravel the inner workings and manifestations of explosive volcanisms, ultimately enhancing our understanding of volcanic processes and hazard assessment. The Alfred Rittmann Conference has represented since 2009 the most significant scientific exchange moment for the entire Italian volcanological community. The conference is aimed at all researchers working in every branch of volcanology, including physical volcanology, geochemistry, geophysics, and monitoring to present their most recent scientific findings, hence we especially encourage researchers to submit an abstract. The *abstract submission deadline* is the *17th May 2024*.
