New VIIC leadership

New VIIC leadership

Iestyn Barr, Linda Sobolewski and Tryggvi Unnsteinsson have just taken over as the new leaders to represent IAVCEI in the joint IAVCEI/IACS Volcano-Ice Interactions Commission. Our backgrounds cover a diverse range of topics related to volcano-ice interactions, including work on subglacial volcanic caves, and using glaciers as indicators of volcanic activity. As new co-leaders of the Volcano-Ice Interactions Commission we have the goal to: (i) promote and highlight the importance of glaciovolcanic research; (ii) enthuse a new generation of researchers in this field; and (iii) make the importance of glaciovolcanism known to the wider scientific community and public.

Our future plans include an online workshop (autumn 2024), glaciovolcanic-themed field trips (expected in 2025), the organization of conference sessions, and a lot more. We will keep you updated.

All the best,

Iestyn, Linda and Tryggvi
