2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Severine Furst <sfurst@xxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract for our IAVCEI session titled "*Surveying Oceanic Volcanism: Mapping, Monitoring, Response, and Geophysical Techniques for the Seafloor*" in *Theme: 2. Pre and syn-eruptive monitoring*. This session focuses on the challenges and advancements in monitoring and surveying oceanic volcanoes, especially those that are deeper and remain unmonitored due to logistical and financial barriers. *Session Overview* Monitoring and surveying marine volcanoes remains one of the major challenges in volcanology. While deeper submarine systems are costly and complex to study, recent innovations are enabling significant progress. Advances in sensor technology, expanded monitoring networks, and the use of autonomous submersibles are enhancing our capabilities. For shallower and emergent marine volcanoes, remote sensing and low-cost coastal and surface-deployed sensors provide promising options for monitoring. This session welcomes abstracts that focus on mapping, detection, and monitoring of submarine volcanic activity. Contributions may include data from field research expeditions, seafloor instrumentation networks, remote sensing, or novel methodologies aimed at better understanding and tracking these unique volcanic systems. *Submission Deadline:* December 20th, 2023 <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mail.geomar.de/calendar/day/1703059403015__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!bGWZbQAYwwJ2FhdTw7cFPOTC5cfbA51Ht0ohrZqxTPmQLch6QnDL9Tjls7oenR44O3hDsXCVzwx35DMPF6DLdnOgrA$> https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!bGWZbQAYwwJ2FhdTw7cFPOTC5cfbA51Ht0ohrZqxTPmQLch6QnDL9Tjls7oenR44O3hDsXCVzwx35DMPF6AkCyaOew$> We look forward to your contributions and to engaging discussions on how we can further develop these critical methods for oceanic volcanism research. Your insights and advancements are crucial to improve our understanding and monitoring of these complex and often hazardous environments.
