Identifying and interpreting signals of volcanic unrest in the upper crust is an essential aspect of volcano monitoring. Multidisciplinary datasets such as seismicity, ground deformation, gas emissions, gravity, infrasound, electric resistivity, and so on, have been widely used and played key roles in our understanding of eruption mechanisms. Advancement in both monitoring and fundamental understanding of volcanic processes requires physics-based models to link the dynamics of magmatic systems to geophysical observables. In this session, we invite abstracts that focus on physics-based modeling to interpret geophysical datasets. We welcome novel theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies that elucidate the physics behind various processes during shallow volcanic unrest, especially ones linked to geophysical datasets.
