Uncertainty quantification in lava flow hazard modeling and real-time source term provision Catania, Italy, 20-24 February 2017 Organisers: Ciro Del Negro, Sonia Calvari, Andrew Harris Between the 20 and 24 February, 2017, a workshop on Quantifying Lava Flow Hazards in Response to Effusive Eruption was held at the Etneo Observatory of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) in Catania (Italy). The title of the workshop was “Workshop on Uncertainty Quantification in Lava Flow Hazard Modeling and Real-Time Source Term Provision”, and the full program detail is given in Annex...

Estimating mass eruption rates in exposive eruptions Reykjavík, Iceland, 3-5 May 2016 Organiser: Magnús T. Gudmundsson, Augusto Neri, Sara Barsotti, Tobias Dürig A three-day MeMoVolc workshop was hold in Reykjavík, Iceland on the topic of Mass Eruption Rates in explosive eruptions. A group of experts in the various measurement techniques as well as numerical and analogue plume models analysed the strengths and weaknesses of current MER estimation methods. The mass eruption rate (MER) is without doubt the most important single parameter in controlling the dynamics, hazard and impact of expl...

Anticipating volcanic eruptions: developing multidisciplinary tools to track the source, volume and duration of magma movement from the mantle to the surface Pisa, Italy, 4-6 February 2015 Organisers: M. Pompilio (INGV Pisa, Italy), S. Chakraborty (Bochum, Germany), M. Pichavant (Orléans, France), T. Druitt (Clermont-Ferrand, France). Contact. M. Pompilio (pompilio@pi.ingv.it) Magma input in the deep supply system is the early signal of a possible reactivation of the whole volcanic plumbing system. Understanding how magma is transferred from depth is pivotal to recognising long to mid ter...

From magma ascent to ash generation: Investigating volcanic conduit processes by integration of experiments, numerical modelling and observation Pisa, Italy, 25-27 October 2014 Organisers: M. Polacci and M. de’ Michieli Vitturi (INGV, Pisa, Italy).  Contact Margherita Polacci (polacci@pi.ingv.it) Volcanic conduits are the vehicle through which magma travels from its storage region to the surface. Understanding better volcanic conduits and related processes is of paramount importance for improving volcanic hazard and eruption prediction. The workshop addressed this topic, by first revi...
