7a Conferenza A. Rittmann - Call for Abstracts Sessions S06

 

Volcano seismology has long played a central role in probing subsurface volcanic processes, from the earliest historical observations linking earthquakes to eruptions to modern multidisciplinary approaches. Nearly all well-monitored volcanic eruptions are accompanied by seismic anomalies, highlighting the importance of seismic and acoustic observations for understanding volcanic unrest, eruptive behavior, and associated hazards. Volcanic systems are inherently complex, with strong contrasts in material properties, fluid distributions, and conduit/crater geometries and topography, that significantly affect seismic and acoustic wave propagation. These conditions generate a wide range of signals associated with magmatic, hydrothermal, tectonic, and surface processes. Recent advances have been enabled by dense seismo-acoustic networks, temporary deployments, and the integration with laboratory and numerical experiments. This session invites observational, experimental, and modeling studies using seismic and acoustic signal based methods to investigate the physical properties, dynamics, and stress state of volcanic systems across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Topics include seismic tomography; analysis of volcano-tectonic, long-period, and very-long-period events; characterization of tremor and noise; moment tensor inversion; shear-wave splitting; numerical and laboratory modeling; integrated interpretations combining multi-source data. Contributions addressing both active and quiescent volcanoes, innovative methodologies such as machine learning, and implications for hazard assessment and eruption forecasting are encouraged.
