Column Forming Joints In An Andesite Lava Flow At Ruapehu Volcano, New Zealand (c Conway)
Online Workshop – January 2025
The VIIC is holding an online workshop from 13-15 January 2025. The workshop will be focusing on volcano-ice interactions but is suitable for both volcanologists and glaciologists in the same way. It is also open to everyone else interested in this topic. The workshop will be a mixture of talks given by different groups, e.g., experienced senior researchers, early career scientists, and volcano observatory members, followed by different hands-on exercises each day. The workshop is organized in three (half-day) blocks including a general introduction to glaciology and volcanology on the first day, and will then focus on glaciovolcanism in the geological record (second day) and present-day glaciovolcanism (third day). Practical sessions will cover aspects such as remote sensing of glaciers, the Polar Rock Repository Database, and glaciovolcanic hazard modelling.
You can register for this workshop by sending an email to Tryggvi Unnsteinsson (t.unnsteinsson.23@abdn.ac.uk). Please indicate your full name, degree and current affiliation (if existing), and preferred email-address. We also ask you to provide a brief description about your scientific background and/or why you are interested in attending the workshop.
