4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Jacqueline Grech Licari <jacqueline.grechlicari@xxxxxxxxx> Dear all, We invite you to submit an abstract to our session *"Volcanic Island Geohazards: recent lessons, current challenges and future developments"* within *Theme: 2. Pre and syn-eruptive monitoring.* Abstract submission is now open *until* *20th December 2024*. *Session Description:* As illustrated by the 2018 lateral collapse, eruption and tsunami at Anak Krakatau, the 2019 Whakaari disaster, and the 2022 Hunga Tonga Hunga Haâ??apai explosive eruption and tsunami, volcanic islands are dynamic landforms that can generate multiple syn-eruptive hazards including pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), ashfall, and tsunami. Understanding the magnitude, frequency, and nature of past events on island volcanoes is crucial for improved hazard and risk assessment, particularly for vulnerable surrounding communities. Recent technological advances and heightened interest amongst scientists and public alike highlighted the importance of advancing knowledge of island volcanism and related hazards. This session addresses these hazards and associated research challenges. We invite submissions that utilise *physical volcanology, tephrochronology, geophysical techniques, remote sensing, and modelling *to *reconstruct eruptive histories*, *establish frequency-magnitude relationships*, and *understand potential for flank collapse, PDC, and tsunami scenarios*. Presentations that explore socio-economic implications and/or combine local knowledge to study these hazards are welcome. *Abstract submission form:* https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!fy7tOVF6zi82LRqfjkSbcV5GvA4-IQ_Zyaa_tCHtRCX0li64CJyuFdJz8DnY2l4GmK91yKM0LqNejRMJ3u36cFG3gA$> Kind regards from the session convenors, Jacqueline Grech Licari (Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand), Sebastian Watt (University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom), Michelle Coombs (USGS Volcano Science Center Alaska Volcano Observatory, Anchorage, Alaska, United States), Anna Perrtu (Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand) & Rui Miguel Sousa Mota (Research Institute for Volcanology and Risk Assessment (IVAR), Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal) 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 ------------------------------
