Session Proposal: Shaping the Future of Volcanic Hazard Monitoring and Forecasting (AGU25)

V029
Shaping the Future of Volcanic Hazard Monitoring and Forecasting

Session ID#: 251336

Session Description:
Volcanic hazard understanding is evolving rapidly thanks to breakthroughs in satellite Earth observation, physics-based simulations, and artificial intelligence. This session focuses on forward-looking strategies that integrate multi-source data, real-time monitoring, and advanced modeling to anticipate the dynamics and impacts of eruptions. We invite contributions that address uncertainty quantification, improve hazard forecasting, and support timely decision-making through innovative approaches. Emphasis is placed on cross-disciplinary methods that couple remote sensing with machine learning, probabilistic frameworks, and impact assessment tools. We particularly encourage submissions that demonstrate operational or near-real-time applications, scenario-based forecasting, and integration of diverse datastreams from ground-based and orbital platforms. The session aims to highlight advances that are redefining how we detect, interpret, and respond to volcanic activity. By fostering collaboration across geophysics, computer science, and risk management, we seek to build a next-generation framework for volcanic hazard anticipation, response, and long-term resilience in the face of increasingly complex global challenges.
