4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Olga Bergal-Kuvikas <olgakuvikas@xxxxxxxxx> Dear All, We invite you to submit an abstract to our session "Volcanic Geoheritage - a communication link from volcano scientists to the wider public" within Theme 7 at the upcoming IAVCEI 2025 Scientific Assembly (29 June - 4 July 2025). Session Description: Volcanic geoheritage refers to the geological features associated with volcanic terrains, including volcanic processes, landforms, and eruptive products that create, shape, or modify the landscape. This broad concept connects the formation and features related to volcanism with other geological entities and cultural heritage. Volcanic geoheritage is deeply embedded in society's geoculture, linked with tangible and intangible heritage, where dark geocultural elements are often associated with volcanic hazards. The geodiversity of volcanoes and volcanic terrains, both onshore and offshore, is immense, and volcanic geoheritage represents an emerging field focused on expressing, measuring, and protecting these features. Volcanic geoheritage can be seen as a future vehicle to connect geosciences to society through geoeducation, nature conservation, geosystem services, and the development of resilient communities that learn to live with volcanic hazards. This session invites transdisciplinary approaches to understanding volcanic geoheritage, providing a scientific platform to share recent developments in this emerging field.
