Volcanic lakes are spectacular features of our planet. They also are windows into magmatic-hydrothermal systems, ideal natural laboratories to study interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere in volcanic environments, as well as interactions between the geosphere and biosphere inside their water body. A multidisciplinary measurement and modeling approach incorporating scientific fields such as volcanology, geochemistry, geophysics, limnology, microbiology, hydrogeology and economic geology has developed over the years to better understand volcanic lake systems. Such an approach also aims to forecast and mitigate hazards associated with volcanic lakes, such as phreatic and limnic eruptions, acid seepage, lahars. We therefore seek contributions related to studies of volcanic lakes from a broad range of perspectives: 1) geochemical, geophysical and microbiological characteristics and monitoring of volcanic lakes; 2) hazard forecast and mitigation; 3) environmental impacts of hyperacidic crater lakes; 4) limnology and hydrogeology of volcanic lakes; 5) modeling studies of volcanic lake processes.
