Call for papers: William Smith meeting on the remote sensing of
volcanoes & volcanic processes
From: David Pyle <David.Pyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dear Colleagues

Just a reminder that registration is open for the 2011 William Smith
meeting of the Geological Society, London, on the "Remote sensing of
volcanoes & volcanic processes: integrating observation & modelling".

This two day meeting will be held at the Geological Society in London,
4-5 October 2011. In addition to our keynote speakers (listed below),
we have slots available for talks on any of the themes relevant to the
meeting. So please, do consider submitting an abstract for the
meeting, or contributing a paper to the Special Publication of the
Geological Society which we will produce after the meeting.

Keynote speakers
Professor Paul Segall (Stanford University) - William Smith lecturer
Professor Kathy Cashman (University of Oregon and University of Bristol)
Dr Fred Prata (Norwegian Institute for Air Research)
Dr Mike Burton (Instituto Nazionale di Geofisica a Vulcanologia, Pisa)
Professor Tony Watts (University of Oxford)
Professor Kathy Whaler (University of Edinburgh)
Professor Matt Pritchard (Cornell University)

The aim of this meeting is to bring together people from the remote
sensing communities with those involved in the modeling and field
observations of volcanic systems – whether active, or dormant; on
land, or under the sea – in order to stimulate new interactions, and
identify promising new directions. Each of these fields are growing
rapidly: new satellite sensors and retrieval methods have opened up a
number of remote-sensing tools (for detecting volcano deformation and
measuring volcanic heat and gas emissions) which are now
semi-automated and, in some cases, available on a daily basis. New
sets of ground-based measurement techniques are yielding abundant
high-frequency datastreams from active volcanoes, with many
opportunities to merge observations with models. While models for
volcano behaviour are advancing, what constraints do the new results
from geodesy, field observation and geochemistry place on these
models?

We really hope to see you there

David Pyle, Tamsin Mather and Juliet Biggs
