4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Gustavo Bejar Lopez <gbejarlo@xxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, We are excited to announce the next session of the CONVERSE ER Spring 2025 Webinar Series. Our webinar series aims to provide a platform for graduate students and early career scientists to share their research and develop new skills relevant to the field of volcanic science. The next webinar will be presented by *Simone Aveni* from Sapienza University of Rome and University of Turin. *Title: *Satellite-Based Thermal InfraRed (TIR) Monitoring of Volcanoes: >From Hydrothermal Systems to Effusive Eruptions *Time: *February 25, 2025 at 4 PM EST (UTC-5) *Please, register for this and upcoming webinars at: * https://michigantech.zoom.us/meeting/register/CBwWoETASOqrkVsiPnllhw <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://michigantech.zoom.us/meeting/register/CBwWoETASOqrkVsiPnllhw__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!evLC9COOgAofNkuMsqKDNuUnAAEdz_WcOo5UadQAaCSnh7jnX9J65KLvgLA1lSGTOx9BOE85ioAviqgaQPTIIo43hA$> (No re-registration required if you have already signed up to previous sessions this Spring) *Bio and summary:* Simone Aveni is a third-year PhD candidate jointly affiliated with the University of Turin and Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, and a member of the MIROVA team. He completed his BSc and MScRes at Coventry University, UK, where he focused on investigating volcanic activity using a combination of different satellite techniques. His recent work has reinvigorated the study of thermal remote sensing of volcanic activity through Thermal InfraRed (TIR) analysis, developing the TIRVolcH algorithm, specifically designed to detect subtle-to-high volcanic thermal anomalies on a global scale. He has also introduced a novel method (VRPTIR) for quantifying thermal energy outputs from hydrothermal systemsâ??such as crater lakes and fumarolic fieldsâ??enhancing the monitoring of remote yet potentially hazardous volcanic systems. In this webinar, Simone will explore why TIR channels are critical for volcano monitoring, the challenges in harnessing their full potential, and the advanced methodologies required to extract meaningful insights. He will also present global case studies, including previously unseen data, demonstrating both the effectiveness of TIR analysis and the unique source of information it provides for understanding volcanic activity. *Missed any of our sessions? *Check our website to access recordings from previous webinar series and to find out more about CONVERSE-ER: https://www.converse-er.org/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.converse-er.org/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!evLC9COOgAofNkuMsqKDNuUnAAEdz_WcOo5UadQAaCSnh7jnX9J65KLvgLA1lSGTOx9BOE85ioAviqgaQPTnhgjPpQ$> Join us next week to learn more about thermal monitoring with Simone! -The CONVERSE ER Team 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 ------------------------------
