USGS Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) to Host Volcano-Ice Interactions on Earth and Other Planets Conference:

On June 18-22, scientists from USGS-AVO, Alaska Science Center and around the world including Chile, Iceland, Mexico, New Zealand, South America, the UK and Russia will take part in the Third International joint IAVCEI-IACS Commission on Volcano-Ice Interactions Conference held in Anchorage, Alaska. The conference will be hosted by AVO and includes a three-day oral and poster session meeting followed by a two day field excursion to the Wrangell volcanic field and the Kenai Peninsula. The conference precedes the International Glaciological Society symposium on mountain glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets in a warming climate that will be held in Fairbanks the following week from June 25–29. The purpose of the conference is to bring together scientists with a common interest in volcano-ice interactions and to highlight recent studies and eruptions at snow- and ice-clad volcanoes.
