IAVCEI 2023 Program Themes

The themes of the IAVCEI 2023 Scientific Assembly encompass the broad disciplines that seek to understand volcanism and magmatism, including natural processes, investigative techniques and the benefits and impacts to society. The scientific programme will be complemented and facilitated by the diverse context of the New Zealand volcanic environment, which will be highlighted across the activities of the scientific assembly.

I.     Magmatism and tectonism
II.    Using field data, geophysics, geochemistry, statistics, and modeling to probe volcanic and plutonic systems
III.   Eruption triggers and styles: From precursors to eruption
IV.   Volatile influences on eruption style, degassing, atmospheric chemistry and climate
V.    Evaluating and communicating volcanic hazards and risks
VI.   Monitoring: developing new approaches and novel applications of existing technologies
VII.  Volcanoes, energy, resources and the environment
VIII. Volcanoes and society: from indigenous peoples to a multicultural world
IX.   Future thinking - what's on the horizon that could be a game-changer?
