Gentili colleghi,
vorremmo ricordarvi a partecipare alla sessione S2 - Volcanological field studies and tephrostratigraphy della prossima Conferenza Rittmann organizzata da AIV e INGV il 12-14 Febbraio 2020 a Catania (https://www.conferenzarittmann.it/), e diffonderne la notizia presso colleghi, dottorandi e collaboratori e vostri studenti. La sessione si occupa di studi geologici e vulcanologici di terreno con applicazioni a valutazioni di hazard e ricerca di georisorse, con particolare riferimento a studi paleoambientali e tefrostratigrafici. Sono benvenuti studi multidisciplinari derivanti dalla interazione di geologia e stratigrafia di terreno e/o datazioni, metodi geofisici e modelli numerici.
Geological fieldwork and stratigraphic analysis are the main sources of data on which most studies in volcanology are based. This session aims to be a forum for discussion among researchers involved in field volcanic studies finalized to understand the behavior of volcanoes and their future activity, to quantify volcanic processes and their associated hazards, and to provide input datasets for physical and mathematical modelling as well as for palaeoclimatic and chronological studies. We promote the presentation of multidisciplinary studies integrating geological field-based and various dating methods (radiocarbon, paleomagnetic, Ar/Ar, K/Ar, etc), as well as the 3D visualization of geological data and their extension and extrapolation in depth deriving from the superficial geological survey, shallow and deep cores, and various geophysical techniques. Geological maps of volcanic areas are welcome as tools for hazard evaluation and decision-making processes on territorial management and disaster risk reduction, for resource-exploration, and for land-planning and resource-management, including the cultural exploitation of the territory. Moreover, special attention will be given to the study of distal tephra layers in marine and terrestrial sedimentary archives as independent tools for dating and correlating Quaternary stratigraphic successions and synchronising palaeo-climatic archives in different sectors of a basin, and to investigate the effects of past (and present) volcanic ash dispersal on the environment and the response of civilizations to volcanic eruptions with palaeo-ecological, environmental and archaeological applications. The final purpose of this session is to stress the importance of volcanic field studies and tephrostratigraphy as the main sources of data to quantify volcanic processes and their impact on the human and environments.
