10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10 From: Linda Sobolewski - HI <lindas@xxxxx> Dear colleagues, The Volcano-Ice Interactions Commission (VIIC), a joint commission of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earthâ??s Interior (IAVCEI) and the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), is organizing an in-person workshop in Iceland in May 2025. Everyone interested in this topic is welcome to participate. *Dates: *19-24 May 2025 *Duration:* 6 days (5 nights) *Leaders:* Iestyn Barr (University of Manchester), Rosie Cole (University of Iceland), Linda Sobolewski (University of Iceland), Tryggvi Unnsteinsson (University of Aberdeen), Maximillian Van Wyk de Vries (University of Cambridge) *Maximum number of participants:* 15 *Total costs:* 190,000 ISK (ca. 1,300 â?¬) â?? Payment will be made in ISK. *Summary: *This field trip will provide a broad overview of glaciovolcanic interactions in Iceland and related features which can be found all over the country. Iceland is the ideal place to study glaciovolcanism. On average, 20-30 volcanic eruptions occur in Iceland every century, 50% of these eruptions take place beneath glaciers. One of the best-known examples of recent years is the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption which impacted global air traffic due to volcanic ash and generated glacial outburst floods (jökulhlaups) damaging nearby infrastructure. This field trip will focus on glaciovolcanic formations and processes in south and southwest Iceland and consists of 5 full days in the field. We will start our trip around the Reykjanes Peninsula to see pillow lavas and a subglacially formed volcano (Day 1) before heading towards the area around Eyjafjallajökull and Ã?órsmörk (Days 2-3). We will have the chance to stop at the GÃgjökull outlet glacier, impacted by subglacial lava propagation in 2010, and Steinholtsjökull with its impressive proglacial lake. Furthermore, we will discuss glacial influences on volcanic eruptions and landscape evolution while hiking in the Ã?órsmörk area. Day 4 will focus on glaciological features, explored during a glacier hike at Sólheimajökull, one of the outlet glaciers originating from Mýrdalsjökull. The last two days (Days 5-6) will provide the opportunity to further explore the area around Mýrdalsjökull and continue towards the largest ice cap, Vatnajökull. *Icebreaker:* The icebreaker event will take place in ReykjavÃk on Sunday evening, 18 May. *Accommodation:* We will stay in Hvolsvöllur (Hellishólar Cottages) in shared cabins. Each cabin has a private bathroom and can accommodate up to 6 people. See here for further information: *https://hellisholar.is/cotttages/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://hellisholar.is/cotttages/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!cLLI9Mb50X4R6C8LSXzbbAHKdYHOGuW1zBTIcgdLl-LJa9mpsD1Ay9SB4e5RhJzOUY2ptrt8Nv1ooxn903xJKGQ-2g$>* *Fitness level:* Medium - Participants will have to walk over uneven terrain for several kilometers, and must be prepared to be outside for hours in any weather. Day 3 involves a hike on steep, exposed terrain. *Registration fee:* The cost of *190,000 ISK per person* covers transport in vans, accommodation (in shared cabins), a glacier tour at Sólheimajökull, and transportation in special 4x4 vehicles (Days 2-3). Participants will pay for their own meals. All cabins will be equipped with a kitchen and provide the possibility to prepare food. We will make sure to have sufficient stops at grocery stores. Options to have dinner at nearby places also exist. Flights to/from Iceland and accommodation before/after the workshop are not included in the price. *Registration:* Registration for this field trip will be on a first come first serve basis. Please send an email to Tryggvi Unnsteinsson ( t.unnsteinsson.23@xxxxxxxxxx). Please indicate your full name, degree and current affiliation (if existing), and preferred email-address. We also ask you to provide a brief description about your scientific background and/or why you are interested in attending the workshop. *Deadline for registration:* 14 February 2025 *Travel grants:* Accepted participants (IAVCEI members) have the possibility to apply for financial support from IAVCEI. All participants must comply with the IAVCEI/IACS codes of conduct. *https://www.iavceivolcano.org/code-of-conduct-for-iavcei-meetings-and-events/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.iavceivolcano.org/code-of-conduct-for-iavcei-meetings-and-events/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!cLLI9Mb50X4R6C8LSXzbbAHKdYHOGuW1zBTIcgdLl-LJa9mpsD1Ay9SB4e5RhJzOUY2ptrt8Nv1ooxn903xSjMJhkA$>* *https://cryosphericsciences.org/about/objectives/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cryosphericsciences.org/about/objectives/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!cLLI9Mb50X4R6C8LSXzbbAHKdYHOGuW1zBTIcgdLl-LJa9mpsD1Ay9SB4e5RhJzOUY2ptrt8Nv1ooxn903wD9_7rhA$>* We are looking forward to seeing you in May!
