2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Linda Sobolewski - HI <lindas@xxxxx> Dear Colleagues, Here are some updates from the IAVCEI/IACS Joint Commission on Volcano-Ice Interactions (VIIC): _______________________________________________ *Online Workshop on Volcano-Ice Interactions* The VIIC is holding an online workshop from 13-15 January 2025. The workshop will be focusing on volcano-ice interactions but is suitable for both volcanologists and glaciologists in the same way. It is also open to everyone else interested in this topic. The workshop will be a mixture of talks given by different groups, e.g., experienced senior researchers, early career scientists, and volcano observatory members, followed by different hands-on exercises each day. The workshop is organized in three (half-day) blocks including a general introduction to glaciology and volcanology on the first day, and will then focus on glaciovolcanism in the geological record (second day) and present-day glaciovolcanism (third day). Practical sessions will cover aspects such as remote sensing of glaciers, the Polar Rock Repository Database, and glaciovolcanic hazard modelling. You can register for this workshop by sending an email to Tryggvi Unnsteinsson (*t.unnsteinsson.23@xxxxxxxxxx <t.unnsteinsson.23@xxxxxxxxxx>*). Please indicate your full name, degree and current affiliation (if existing), and preferred email-address. We also ask you to provide a brief description about your scientific background and/or why you are interested in attending the workshop. *What:* Workshop on volcano-ice interactions *When:* 13-15 January 2025, 16:00 to 20:00 GMT *Where:* Online via Zoom *Registration:* Via email to Tryggvi Unnsteinsson (*t.unnsteinsson.23@xxxxxxxxxx <t.unnsteinsson.23@xxxxxxxxxx>*) *Registration deadline:* 6 January 2025 More information will follow after the registration and closer to the start of the workshop. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions. _______________________________________________ *Online Seminar November 2024* Please join us for our next seminar with Tryggvi Unnsteinsson, University of Aberdeen. Registration via the link below is required in order to receive the Zoom meeting invitation and/or access the recording, which will become available after the meeting. *IAVCEI/IACS VIIC Seminar:* "Using glaciers to inform on volcanic activity" by Tryggvi Unnsteinsson *When:* Thursday, 28th November 2024, 17:00 GMT *Abstract:* Volcanoes are capable of altering the mass balance and dynamics of overlying glaciers. In this talk we will look at how we can take advantage of these volcano-driven glacier changes to inform on the underlying volcanic activity. We will apply this to both localised melt features: glaciovolcanic caves and chimneys; as well as to how volcanoes affect the overall mass balance of glaciers in a global context.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. _______________________________________________ *Reminder: IAVCEI Scientific Assembly 2025 - Session on Volcano-Ice Interactions* We are pleased to highlight the session *'Volcano-ice interactions on Earth and beyond'* at the IAVCEI Scientific Assembly 2025 in Geneva (29 June â?? 4 July 2025). *Session Description:* Interactions between volcanoes and ice occur in several ways, with implications for our understanding of volcanoes, the cryosphere, and associated hazards. Volcanic/geothermal activity can alter glacier dimensions, dynamics and hydrology, which can in turn trigger floods and lahars. Glaciers and associated meltwater can also impact volcanic processes, either directly via lava-water interactions and by controlling the distribution of erupted material, or by adjusting volcanic system loads. As such, glaciovolcanic deposits provide valuable insight into the past environment at volcanic regions across the globe. Despite their significance, interactions between volcanoes and ice are often hard to observe and remain poorly understood. In this session (organized by the IAVCEI/IACS commission on Volcano-Ice Interaction) we invite contributions focused on volcano-ice interactions and their implications in all forms. This includes insights from field observations, remote sensing, experiments, and modelling. *Invited Speaker:* Kathleen Scanlon, University of Maryland & NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Abstract submission is now open (*https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YOmYp9JUME2AAaFaQDUcMX_Bo0Oy6Pe4KE2cJSMilI8vqYPAv8VCnJfgR1sx2kUBpjr6oPVxkCC98guLbpIaRhPv5g$>* ) Closing of abstract submission â?? *20th December 2024* *Conveners:* Iestyn Barr, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, United Kingdom Rosie Cole, University of Iceland, ReykjavÃk, Iceland Linda Sobolewski, University of Iceland, ReykjavÃk, Iceland Tryggvi Unnsteinsson, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, United Kingdom Best wishes, Iestyn, Linda, and Tryggvi Websites: *https://viic.iavceivolcano.org/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://viic.iavceivolcano.org/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YOmYp9JUME2AAaFaQDUcMX_Bo0Oy6Pe4KE2cJSMilI8vqYPAv8VCnJfgR1sx2kUBpjr6oPVxkCC98guLbpKktSp2-A$>* and *https://cryosphericsciences.org/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cryosphericsciences.org/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YOmYp9JUME2AAaFaQDUcMX_Bo0Oy6Pe4KE2cJSMilI8vqYPAv8VCnJfgR1sx2kUBpjr6oPVxkCC98guLbpJvaqIfgQ$>* 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ------------------------------
