Volcano Seismology and Acoustics: Recent Advances in Understanding Volcanic Processes
Volcano Seismology and Acoustics: Recent Advances in Understanding Volcanic Processes
Session ID#: 79595
Session Description:
Volcanic eruptions may involve a variety of hazardous phenomena
including ash plumes, gas emissions, explosions, pyroclastic flows,
lava flows, and lahars. Mass wasting may also occur during periods of
volcanic quiescence. All of these phenomena produce seismic and
infrasound signals that may provide key real-time information on
hazardous surface phenomena. We can also gain insights into volcanic
hazards by tracking subsurface processes such as magma and hydrothermal
fluid migration using volcano seismology.
Recent advances in analysis and interpretation of seismic and acoustic
data facilitate a precise characterization and quantification of the
physical processes leading to and producing hazardous volcanic
phenomena. However, volcano seismology and acoustics remains an
emerging area of research.
We welcome submissions that explore new seismic and acoustic
observations, interpretations, models, instrumentation, or techniques
that further our understanding of volcanic processes and potentially
aid future monitoring efforts.
