Aims

The Aeolian Islands are one of the best-known places for studying volcanic geology and activity. Spectacular basaltic explosions occurring continuously at Stromboli has made the island the target of many international experiments which have driven the way volcanologists are working today and have made the island one of the best volcano-laboratories in the world. At Lipari and Vulcano, perfectly-exposed outcrops and continuous gas emissions represent a unique opportunity to observe the variability of volcanic activity styles, from fumarolic through effusive to explosive; from Vulcanian to Plinian eruptions, and from basaltic to rhyolitic activity. Students will be introduced to the state-of-the-art of physical volcanology, remote sensing, geophysics and geochemistry as carried out at active volcanoes, from tephra studies to instrumentation, data acquisition and processing, to application of data for reporting, monitoring and communication duties. Volcanological studies and monitoring tools will be integrated to define eruptive dynamics and volcanic alert levels. Moreover, there will be a specific focus on volcanic risk management procedures, with a practical example on how scientists and decision makers interact during a crisis.

Organization

The school is organized with short lectures and field applications. The school is strongly field-based, where lectures and discussion on volcano dynamics, and the use of the instruments, will be made in a hands-on manner rather than in theory. Multiparametric experiments and outcrop observations will be carried out during the school and used to support learning through implementation

Target

The target of the school will be Master’s and PhD students, and Early Career Scientists; especially those with observatory experience. Maximum number of participants: 20 When Where 08–16 June 2025 Venue: Lipari, Aeolian Islands (Hotel Filadelfia) Measurement trips: Vulcano and Stromboli

Fees and registration
No registration fee & full board is provided for the duration of the school Application deadline: 31st Dec 2024 Participant selection: 31st Jan 2025
