SPECIAL SESSION
V16: Geophysical observations of volcanic processes: Linking surface, air, and space based measurements

Conveners:
Michael Poland (USGS – Cascades Volcano Observatory)
Michael Ramsey (University of Pittsburgh)

Geophysical observations of volcanic eruptive composition, processes, and activity are numerous and diverse. The data collected can range from spaceborne gravity and thermal emission to airborne magnetic and conductivity to surface seismicity and deformation. The goal of this session is to bring together volcanologists who conduct geophysical measurements, which can be broadly defined as data collection of a volcanic process by a recording device that is not in physical contact with that observable process. With the enormous volume of data now available, research that attempts to link multiple data sets and techniques or validate remotely-acquired data by ground-based observations is especially appropriate for this session, as these synergistic studies may lead to new understandings of volcanic processes and hazards.
