Volcanoes are extremely complex geological systems, and as such are particularly prone to multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary investigations aimed at providing a full picture of the phenomena that drive their dynamics. Integrating contributions from stratigraphic, structural, geophysical, petrological and geochemical research has a high potential in allowing to unravel the variegated interplay between pre-, syn- and post-eruptive processes that characterised the history of a volcanic district. This can eventually lead to a better understanding of the main factors controlling the eruptive behaviour of a given system, which, in presently active contexts, is of paramount importance for the definition of the possible evolution in the long and short terms, that is fundamental for the assessment of the related risk and hazard. In this session we wish to receive contributions from various different Earth Science disciplines in the study of volcanic systems. New data-based research works focused on field volcanology, geophysics (e.g. paleomagnetism, gravimetry, seismics), petrology and geochemistry (focusing on both rocks and fluids) are welcome, as well as studies providing computational models of volcanic phenomena based on multiparametric databases.
