Submit your abstract to the VIPS sponsored session at IAVCEI 2025 Scientific Assembly!

Please consider submitting an abstract to the VIPS sponsored session entitled “Volcanic plumbing system models to inform volcanic unrest processes” at IAVCEI 2025. The session is found in Theme 1: Production of magma and assembly of volcanic plumbing systems.

Abstract submission deadline: 10^th January 2025

Invited speaker: Freysteinn Sigmundsson

Session description: 

The architecture of volcanic plumbing systems (VIPS), which comprise a network of magma reservoirs and intrusions, controls, to a large extent, volcanic unrest signals prior to, during and after eruptions. Therefore, studies dedicated to linking understanding of VIPS architecture and magma storage conditions with data related to unrest periods are crucial to generating accurate eruption forecasts and implementing effective mitigation methods. VIPS processes operate and interlink over multiple length and timescales, and involve complex physics and chemistry at the interface between fluid and solid mechanics. As such, this session targets studies that provide insight on the physical, chemical and temporal evolution of volcanic plumbing systems in order to inform processes occurring prior to, during and after periods of volcanic unrest and/or eruption. We solicit studies utilizing or linking geological or geophysical observations, theoretical or analytical models, petrological and geochemical constraints, and experimental or numerical methods.
